Hi Marc, Could you please forward/translate this reply to Michael and anyone who believe that Liège (and other places?) contain main road classification errors that produce bad routing. One-way streets and the like will be another subject. I suggested below to compare the OSM classification with that of Michelin. Martin Koppenhoefer replied down below that Michael is wrong because "we" (they) "do more or less like Michelin". But he doesn't say if it is more or less and how much. He asks "Where do you see differences?", meaning that he did not try to find them.
Consequently, I have made my own Michelin compatible overpass query <http://overpass-turbo.eu/?q=CltvdXQ6anNvbl1bdGltZcSCxIQ2MF07Ci8vIGdhdGhlciByZXN1bHRzCigKICDElyBxdcSeeSDEqiB3YXlbImhpZ2jEtnkiPSJtb3RvcsS_Il0oe3tiYm94fX0pxJXEq8S_xLnEu8S9xYnFgnByxI1hcsWAxYvFjcWPxZHFk8WVxLTFl8S3xZnEvMS-xLfFgSJzZWPEiGTFocWjxYzFjsWQxZLFlMSVxLTFmMS6xa7FnCJ0xJ7EjMW4xYrFusWmxb3FqcWrxLjGgsWbxbDFgnVuY2xhc3NpZmllZMaKxaXFvMWoxZbEtcWsxpHFr8WAxYLEocabZGVuxohsxqHFu8Wnxb7EtArFqcStxZ5pxrDEoMSixKTEpgrEkCDFkGR5xJU-xJXHg3NrZWzErnTFv8WNc3R5bGU6CsSWKkRlZmHHgCDFs3TEjG5ncyBmxYfGpnlzKi8KxL8ge8S0b3BhY2nHlTowLjXGpXdpZMScOjPGpcW1bMWHOmJsxLDGpX3HmsWYxZrGqT3FhMWGxYjEt13Hs8Wqx7bHuMe6ece8LjnIgMiCyIQ0yIdvyIlyOsShZMiPyJHFrMiTxL89xrttxbjImse0xKsgyJ3Huce7x73Io8aAyKVoOsinxLTIiMiKyK3Ir8exyLHGg8S3PcWzxbVuxbfFosi4yJzHt8i9yKDIv8ikyIPJg8mFxKvJh8ireceOyIl3yYrIksmNeT3GhnLGiMmUyJvIusi8yJ_IocmAxZfJgsmEyKjIqjrJomzJpMmmyYzGksmpxqzIgsavxrHJlcmwyZfJssmayYHJnMm3yYbIqciKZ8Shx4fEtMiQx5rHm0jFrmzFrnQgxJxlIMe4xIx2yp_HsmFmyasgxpdpY2vGvGfHr8mLyKDKoWnKo8mvxKvJsci-yKLJm8iEOMm4yYjGn8mKCsWT&c=BL83OJVENO&R> (thanks to the author of the original) that is using the same colors as Michelin (1). At *very first (short) sight*, I am surprised that Martin did not spot that the ref=N3 road that's going north-west is primary (in red) mostly but is interrupted by secondary segments (in yellow) Rue de Hesbaye <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/301189193#map=17/50.64889/5.55263> and Rue Eugène Houdret <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/237917909>. As well as in Rue Louis Jamme <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/368855374#map=18/50.63813/5.58499> to connect Place Delcour <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/28611081> to primary N90 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/28659889> and primary N610 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/368855373> (2). N610 should in theory be secondary but I completely agree with Michelin to make it debatable and make it primary like the Namur road should. I did not investigate further (I'm short sighted indeed) but I suggest that anyone contesting an OSM route compared it with the same routing by Michelin, tried to find an explanation by comparing my overpass <http://overpass-turbo.eu/?q=CltvdXQ6anNvbl1bdGltZcSCxIQ2MF07Ci8vIGdhdGhlciByZXN1bHRzCigKICDElyBxdcSeeSDEqiB3YXlbImhpZ2jEtnkiPSJtb3RvcsS_Il0oe3tiYm94fX0pxJXEq8S_xLnEu8S9xYnFgnByxI1hcsWAxYvFjcWPxZHFk8WVxLTFl8S3xZnEvMS-xLfFgSJzZWPEiGTFocWjxYzFjsWQxZLFlMSVxLTFmMS6xa7FnCJ0xJ7EjMW4xYrFusWmxb3FqcWrxLjGgsWbxbDFgnVuY2xhc3NpZmllZMaKxaXFvMWoxZbEtcWsxpHFr8WAxYLEocabZGVuxohsxqHFu8Wnxb7EtArFqcStxZ5pxrDEoMSixKTEpgrEkCDFkGR5xJU-xJXHg3NrZWzErnTFv8WNc3R5bGU6CsSWKkRlZmHHgCDFs3TEjG5ncyBmxYfGpnlzKi8KxL8ge8S0b3BhY2nHlTowLjXGpXdpZMScOjPGpcW1bMWHOmJsxLDGpX3HmsWYxZrGqT3FhMWGxYjEt13Hs8Wqx7bHuMe6ece8LjnIgMiCyIQ0yIdvyIlyOsShZMiPyJHFrMiTxL89xrttxbjImse0xKsgyJ3Huce7x73Io8aAyKVoOsinxLTIiMiKyK3Ir8exyLHGg8S3PcWzxbVuxbfFosi4yJzHt8i9yKDIv8ikyIPJg8mFxKvJh8ireceOyIl3yYrIksmNeT3GhnLGiMmUyJvIusi8yJ_IocmAxZfJgsmEyKjIqjrJomzJpMmmyYzGksmpxqzIgsavxrHJlcmwyZfJssmayYHJnMm3yYbIqciKZ8Shx4fEtMiQx5rHm0jFrmzFrnQgxJxlIMe4xIx2yp_HsmFmyasgxpdpY2vGvGfHr8mLyKDKoWnKo8mvxKvJsci-yKLJm8iEOMm4yYjGn8mKCsWT&c=BL83OJVENO&R> with the Michelin map <https://fr.viamichelin.be/web/Cartes-plans/Carte_plan-Liege-_-Liege-Belgique?> (my "Michelin info" message helps the wise JOSM users too), and asked people with local knowledge if they know better than Michelin. Last point is what source:???=Michelin ??? to use to prevent a StijnRR or like arbitrarily destructing well thought out tagging without notifying the author. I suggest source:highway=https://viamichelin.be/web/Cartes-plans 2016 2016. Kéne afêre à Lîdje and I hope that this work will be useful elsewhere too, Cheers André. (1) As white would not fit for residential, I used grey. I'm surprised indeed that no unclassified roads turn up in blue but that doesn't affect routing. (2) why the heck do those people adore splitting?
