[OSM-Talk-ZA] National Routes - when are they freeways?

[Mark Williams]

As I undestand it, a freeway is a highway that has a centre island divide 
BUT does not have stop streets and robots at intersections, rather it has 
on-off ramps and bridges.

This makes them qualify for a blue stripe!

Regards,

Mark
