It is entirely intentional that OpenStreetMap does not have any content restrictions on the "Keys" and "Values" that are assigned to Nodes, Line Segments, Ways or Areas. However, there is benefit in editors of map content agreeing a core set of features together with corresponding keys and values in order that generic client software can interpret and display a common basemap, or at least part of the common basemap set. This page is dedicated to a core basemap feature set.

The content draws from the ramblings on the Labels page. It is not intended to be a complete list and you are encouraged to add any new relevant features to the proposed features page for discussion and consideration.

The content below is directed primarily at the English language. It could be extended for local and non-English requirements, although it is suggested that this be done on additional pages to keep the content readable.

If you need help understanding the terms Node/Linear/Area, see Data Primitives

Highway

For linear elements (segments and ways) the highway tag takes one of the following values

Key Value Comments Default rendering
highway Only one of the following See Osmarender
highway motorway A restricted access major divided highway, normally with 2 or more running lanes plus emergency hard shoulder. Equivalent to the Freeway, Autobahn etc.. Rendering-highway motorway.png
highway motorway_link The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a motorway. Normally with the same motorway restrictions. .. Rendering-highway motorway link.png
highway trunk Important roads that aren't motorways. Typically maintained by central, not local government. Need not necessarily be a divided highway. In the UK, many 2digit "A" roads (eg A34) were formally designated Trunk roads although that definition is no longer absolute... Rendering-highway trunk.png
highway trunk_link The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a trunk road. .. Rendering-highway trunk link.png
highway primary Administrative classification in the UK, generally linking larger towns. Rendering-highway primary.png
highway primary_link The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a primary road.
highway secondary Administrative classification in the UK, generally linking smaller towns and villages Rendering-highway secondary.png
highway tertiary A no-longer used classification in the UK. Generally for use on roads wider than 4 metres (13') in width, and for faster/wider minor roads that aren't A or B roads
highway unclassified No administrative classification. Unclassified roads typically form the lowest form of the interconnecting grid network. Rendering-highway unclassified.png
highway track unpaved/unsealed roads for agricultural use; gravel roads in the forest etc. Rendering-highway track.png
highway residential roads accessing or around residential areas but which are not a classified or unclassified highway. Rendering-highway residential.png
highway service generally for access to a building, motorway service station, beach, campsite, industrial estate, business park ... Rendering-highway service.png
highway bridleway For horses, (in the UK, generally footpaths on which horses are also permitted) Rendering-highway bridleway.png
highway cycleway For designated cycleways, i.e. mainly/exclusively for bicycles Rendering-highway cycleway.png
highway footway For designated footpaths, i.e. mainly/exclusively for pedestrians Rendering-highway footway.png

Feature Feature type Key Value Comments Default rendering
Node Physical highway Only one of the following See Osmarender
mini_roundabout

Cycleway

Feature Feature type Key Value Comments
Linear Physical cycleway Only one of the following
Linear Physical cycleway lane
Linear Physical cycleway track
Linear Physical cycleway opposite_lane lane in the opposite way (a "contraflow" lane)
Linear Physical cycleway opposite_track track in the opposite way (that is, separate from the road)
Linear Physical cycleway opposite just permitted to cycle in the opposite way (one way street except for cycles). Note - such streets are common in the Netherlands and Denmark, for example, but do not exist anywhere in the UK: where it looks like they do, actually the street is two-way as normal for its whole length except for the very short section past the no-entry sign at the end, where cycles are excepted from the no-entry by means of a short lane separated by an island. This is called a "cycle plug". In some places this has been represented as a tiny segment of one way street at the end with an adjacent cycleway, forming a little triangle with the road they join to.
