Linguistically I would say proposed comes before planned.  Planning your 
wedding is not the same as proposing marriage!  




Personally I don't think we should routinely display proposed routes, because 
they may never come to reality, but planned routes are ones that have passed 
the usual planning discussions and are awaiting construction, which can 
sometimes be many months or years, but will happen, short of a political change 
of heart.

This is a question of language.

The OSM life cycle discussion 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix
lists "planned" as duplicate of "proposed". I would agree with that.

As a map user I always like maps that look ahead and show planned roadways, not 
only those where you can already see the construction work going on. 
This has the added value when you plan a trip, that you would be alerted to 
possible problems (in case the local mappers missed the transition from 
"planned" to "construction"). I would tend to suggest that we keep the Proposed 
and Under Construction objects visualised with different representation.

Hi,

We're about to abandon rendering highway=proposed in the osm-carto (default OSM 
map style), but we think it's still good to show those which are closer to be 
really constructed:

Is highway=planned a good choice to be rendered instead or some other tagging 
scheme would be better?
