[Talk-us] [Talk-us-newyork] Highway classification guidelines for New York State

[MoiraPrime]

They're already numbers‽

>From most important to least important.

0 - Trunk
1 - Primary
2 - Secondary (the 2 is literally in the name)
3 - Tertiary (the 3 is also in the name)

This isn't rocket science.

If the nature of the low end of the highway classification hierarchy is indeed up for debate, I'd say the NY proposal's recommendations for anything below tertiary might be better replaced with a simple text that recommends following standard tagging practices and local conventions.
