I think we should decorrelate the attributes of a road : its administrative class, its importance in the road network (at least 5 levels), its physical characteristics (motorway-like, two large lanes, link=yes ...), possibly its traffic characteristics.

So we can tag a secondary motorway or a primary road through a residential area or an official motorway with pedestrians actually walking on it.

So that we’ll unify osm road classification through the world (remember the highway=trunk issue ;-))


It's a noble aim, but unfortunately the first thing that springs to mind is https://xkcd.com/927/ :)

However, some of the stuff on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Djakk/new_tagging_scheme_for_roads I definitely agree with, and in some cases actually do do myself - like trying to capture the physical characteristics wherever relevant.
