In cases of clear insanity you can tag according to what the road  
ought to be, rather than the administrative classification. Oxford  
High Street is the A420 so should be highway=primary, at least.  
However, it has a bollard halfway down making passage impossible  
(except for buses) throughout the day. We settled on highway=tertiary  
for that.

Looks pretty good to me, but do ask on talk-gb if you need help.
