I have never said that residential may only be used in city limits. I have said that as soon as there is usage for residential purposes its not unclassified - Thats exactly the terminology from the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dunclassified "Public roads of low importance within town and cities that are not residential may also be highway=unclassified." Residential roads are by definition: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=residential "This tag is used for roads accessing or around residential areas." So - bringing this together - as soon as there is residential usage it cant be unclassified? Am i so wrong? Flo -- Florian Lohoff f...@zz.de UTF-8 Test: The 🐈 ran after a 🐁, but the 🐁 ran away
