Less extreme solution:
Only move the images for examples and rendering (and element) to the subpages,
shorten the text, so it should fit in to one "line" (at most browsers ;) )

"highway=road: A road of unknown classification, temporary tagging."
is enough for first search

"A road of unknown classification. This is intended as a temporary tag to
mark a road until it has been properly surveyed. Once it has been surveyed,
the classification should be updated to the appropriate value."
should be on the subpage.


If reorganisated:
One should find a solution for easier overview about different language.
At now an editor of any language only see his language while editing,
because english "master" version is found at template 1 and the "foreign"
language is defined at template 2 calling template 1, but without seeing
its content.
It may avoid differences between languages, if an editor of a language
can compare his changes to the english version and others while editing.

Might be a solution would be:

an highway=road-template contains all languages

The e.g. german highway-subpage collects
- german part from highway=road
- german part from highway=...

And the (german) highway=road-subpage only collect its template
at now descriptions on highway and highway=road may differ, because
highway=road don't use global templates ...
