[Khanh Le Ngoc Quoc]

Hi,

This is from Google Map Maker but it's helpful for us too:

Road Priority
> (Non Traffic / Terminal / Local /  Minor Arterial / Major Arterial /
> Secondary Road / Primary Highway / Limited Access / Controlled Access)
> Google definitions can be found here:

> We suggest that the default will be local road, while the lanes,
> smaller roads (e.g. Hẻm in VNese) will be 'Terminal'. We can also use
> ‘Terminal’ for internal roads inside residential areas where in fact
> is very limited traffic.
> Major arterial are roads that are always heavy with traffic,
> especially in the inner districts.
> As a rule of thumb for me it is at least Minor Arterial when there's a
> bus line, but that is not much of a definition :)
> Secondary Road and Primary Highway to be decided.
> Beware that Limited Access and Controlled Access are ‘Superhighways’
> that we don’t have in Vietnam (yet)!
