Description

• Road without (official) classification, paved.
• No administrative classification. Unclassified roads typically form the lowest form of the interconnecting grid network.
• For the narrowest paved public highways. For example: 3rd class (CH), unclassified (UK).

• Note:
  • This is not a marker for roads where we still need to choose a highway tag (see highway=road).
  • The 'Unclassified' tag should not be used to tag roads where the road class has not been determined. For that case, use highway=unknown.
