[Talk-us] proposed first principles for United States road tagging

[McGuire, Matthew]

The US Census Feature Class Code has descriptions of most types types of roads.
This would at least tie it to an existing US standard.

This designation exists in many OSM roads tagged with TIGER:CFCC. However most roads could definitely use some refinement. We could strip the TIGER from the tag to just cfcc then refine it from there.

I'm proposing a couple first principles to govern whatever we decide
on for tagging. Please discuss here:
