City limits rarely match the limits of urban areas. On one extreme there are multi-city agglomerations, on the other there are rural areas that are inside cities, for example in France where there is no "no-city's land", even the remotest countryside is part of a 'municipalité'. That said, I dont see what would be gained in using completely separate highway classifications for urban/rural roads. The current scheme applies (as) well to both cases. It'd be silly to reclassify a road while it crosses a 'street village'. And I'm not looking forward to "where does the urban area start ?" debates. -- Vincent Dp _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
