In germany the countys publish a positive and negative network of streets which may be used for ADR transportation (Gefahrgutstraßengrundnetz). I used this to at least tag all roads in my county with hazmat=designated/no/destination. I havent seen any further classification in those documents. > European scope).

I'd do so - hazmat is a very rare tag so adding more information/clarification/proposals would be a good thing.
