[OSM-talk] Red and green routes

[Dubravko Penezic]

Hi all,

It is nice to see that I am not only who found that out-city street
isnt color same like inner-city street even if have same type.

Some time ago I suggest
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Highway_In-Town_Street

after short disscusion I wait that one of other sugested change will
be accepted :

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Tertiary_road

So my next suggestion (I will create propusal today) will be follow:

Outer city/town
==============

Special roads
---------------------

highway
trunk

Standard road (new attribute in_town=no ... not neccery if value is no)
----------------------
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
unclassified
service

In-Town road (new attribute in_town=yes)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Primary         - avenue
Secondary     - main street
Tertiary         - street
unclassified
service
