I was going to bring this up actually, but to suggest, now that we have tags, 
we start tagging ways that we know not to be good as a general thoroughfare, 
so that if someone ever makes a route finding system using OSM data, it will 
be able to avoid these (often quite literal) pitfalls.

What would be the best way to do this? Simply adding a 'route = false' tag to 
the ways? Or maybe it should be finer grained that just boolean, seeing as 
sometimes going along the bad road is the best routing decision. Should there 
be a scoring system from one to ten to indicate the way's suitability as a 
thoroughfare?
