As I mentioned earlier, this is a contradiction in the wiki that should be addressed. The text of Tag:highway=tertiary does not match that of Key:highway regarding what types of settlements tertiary roads link. > Due the settlements of Fildes Peninsula are in the lowet limit of > hamlet/village (supposing these are the correct values), then is easily to > discard tertiary value. This seems like an argument supporting adopting absolute population thresholds for classifying place=* and then using them to decide highway=*. Many local communities have gone the opposite way by adopting lower population thresholds for the various types of place=*. This is common practice in less populated countries and in sparse areas of large countries and in less populous small countries. > Next, the wiki suggest to choose unclassified than tertiary for quieter > linking roads. Until the moment, most people agree the all roads of Fildes > Peninsula are quieter "Quieter" is a comparison. What should they be compared to? Roads are not classified primarily by absolute traffic volume, rather (and more commonly) by importance and function in the road/street system. > Tertiary inside urban context that cited by you, refers explicitly to bigger > settlements.

Are you maybe referring to the small street that goes through the Antarctic Treaty Monument and Frei's headquarters? There are motor vehicles there. [1] > Fildes Peninsula have only near 100 inhabitants. The combined occupancy of all stations and settlements in the Peninsula (Villa Las Estrellas, Professor Julio Escudero Base, Bellingshausen Station, Great Wall Station, Artigas Base and Julio Ripamonti Base) varies from 123 in the winter to 323 in the summer. [2] > Your approach are too relativistic. The OSM wiki is relativistic. I think we're debating how relativistic it should be in the context of Antarctica but also to similar situations in the world. I'm basing my arguments on many real-world examples that show mappers' preferences and tacit consensus in similar situations. If these are preferred in the Arctic but not in the Antarctic region, I think the result is incoherent.
