User:PixelDubs/Worldwide Route Classifications Proposal
This is my proposal.
In OSM, each country uses different route classifications, this causes much confusion!
So why not make a new worldwide classification!
Motorway
If a road is a dual carriageway or has a hard shoulder, should probably be designated as a motorway, exceptions could include the road near Chester in England (i forgor :skull emoji: the route number lmao) and the A55 near Conwy in Wales.
Basically if a route has a hard shoulder but was downgraded (but confirmed) then make that trunk!
Trunk
Trunk routes should be national level routes, no explanation needed!
Regional/Primary
Primary should be province/state etc roads, e.g a regional route in Russia (00-000K) would be a primary, this also includes Russian A roads as they are regional too!, exceptions may be made as it needs to connect the entire nation if a trunk, primary roads do not have to follow this.
Secondary: Any road lower than Primary
Teritary: Lower than Secondary
This is how it should be worldwide I think!
Discuss this in discusiion page of this article!
