[OSM-talk] highway=residential for rural ways?

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hi,

My understanding is that rural roads ("country lanes" as they are called 
in the UK) should be highway=unclassified. However if there is a small 
housing estate or residential road in a village, it should be 
highway=residential.

Cue long debate on this ;-)

Hi,
should highway=residential be used only in cities or also for rural ways?

Currently:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_samples/out_of_town

I see that residential roads aren't supposed to be used outside of
towns, is that right or wiki needs an update?
