Although looking at your changeset comments your fellow mappers seem to think that a couple of houses along a road make it a residential road. Here are some examples you might wish to show them to make a point... Here are a couple of houses along the A487 (the trunk road linking Fishguard to Bangor, mostly single carriageway with short sections of dual carriageway such as the Cardigan bypass): https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.10448&mlon=-4.59910#map=19/52.10448/-4.59910 Here's the same A487 passing through the hamlet of Blaenannerch: https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.11214&mlon=-4.56329#map=17/52.11214/-4.56329 Here's the same A487 passing through the town of Aberaeron: https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.2418&mlon=-4.2608#map=16/52.2418/-4.2608 Here's the same A487 passing through the city of Aberystwyth: https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.4169&mlon=-4.0730#map=14/52.4169/-4.0730 Having such a route switch from being a trunk road to a residential every time there were a few houses (or even a lot of houses) would not be very helpful to somebody trying to plan a journey from Fishguard to Bangor. It would certainly make it a lot harder to figure out, in advance, how you'd traverse Aberystwyth. -- Paul
