[Talk-us] New MapRoulette Challenge - Add Surface to Highways

[Joseph Eisenberg]

Why do we need surface=asphalt vs surface=concrete for highway=motorway?

Does this make a significant difference for any users?

I can certainly see the value of adding unpaved surface values for other
classes of roads, but all motorways in the USA (and likely worldwide) will
be paved
