Hi, You might want to have a look at routes in Europe: https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=5!47.0008!12.6323
Zoom and pan a little to get a feel for the extent of the route networks in Europa and how they relate to countries. Bicycle networks (second tab) are also very dense. By contrast, the similar view of the US: https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=5!40.3725!-99.2156 This is shown thanks to the consistent network tagging. I feel that trying to implement a scheme meant for hierarchical road networks within a country, would maybe work in the US, but in Europe it would do more damage than good, even if it were possible. Just "consistency" is not worth it. Is there a more compellent reason?
