+1 here too, and a little bit of the same concerns expressed by Andy (https://xkcd.com/927/)

BTW, in the Italian mailing list there is currently a thread discussing if and how we should tag highways according to what are the official categories in the Italian Traffic Code (/Codice della Strada/) are.

There the concern is most about how to tag an official classification (/something that is implicit in the tag value in UK, if I'm not mistaken/) instead of a "descriptive classification".

Is ther a UK page that has these official classifications? They maybe of use to fit others classifications to.

But other concerns are emerging too (/at least in my head!/), like the administrative responsibility under which a given road falls (/state, region, province, municipality, private/)

Use operator=* ???

and ad-hoc values as input for the router (/s//peed limits, traffic density, etc./


Rather than the density.. traffic speed could be more usefull? Example traffic_speed=20 @ 6:00-19:00 Mon-Fri , traffic_speed=15 @ 9:00-17:00 Sat-Sun (yes, busier on the weekends!)/.
/If no traffic_speed then routers use the max_speed../

/

/*OR* a comprehensive "preference"value /).

Keep on going!

Cheers,

Sergio

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.
