| Expressways. Northern Luzon Expressway, South Super Highway (as far as EDSA with limited turn-offs). | Separated roadways with exit ramps but not part of the interstate system. National Roads (for example the McArthur Highway and The National Highway down Laguna de Bay). Other very major urban arterial roads, e.g. EDSA, Roxas Boulevard, C-5 | Other main roads in cities (e.g. Pasay Road, Buendia) and between towns. | Other major roads. Routes to get across a local area, for example the road you need to take to get into a Barangay | Other. A central street within, or crossing through the barangay, with substantial traffic | Roads accessing or around residential areas. All other streets with mostly houses, particularly inside barangays. | Unnamed roads or everything else | Roads found in cemeteries, parking lots, and alleyways. |
Access
Since the Philippines is a country where many(!) streets are not public, I suggest everyone while mapping should take a note on the access status (in order to not loose that information). Private Subdivisions (with gate houses and guys with shotguns in front of it) cannot be consideres "public accessible", can they? ;) I suggest tagging all of then access=private. I will try to implement this completely in my upcoming final revision of Makati --Sorabsuperstar 11:39, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Land use
Can we discuss how to do the landuse for the Philippines? From the government official landuse zoning http://www.cookbook.hlurb.gov.ph/4-15-zoning-ordinance: Zoning Class
- Residential - An urban area within a city or municipality principally for dwelling/housing purposes. Residential zones can be subdivided into areas of Low, Medium or High Density.
Socialized Housing An area used mainly for dwelling/ housing purposes for the underprivileged.
- Commercial - An urban area within a city or municipality for trading/services/ business purposes. Commercial zones can be subdivided into areas of Low, Medium and High Density.
- Industrial - An urban area within a city or municipality for industrial purposes. Industrial zones can be subdivided into areas of Light, Medium and Heavy.
- Institutional - An urban area within a city or municipality principally for institutional establishments. Institutional zones can be subdivided in to General and Special.
- Agricultural - An area within a city or municipality intended for cultivation/fishing and pastoral activities.
- Agro-Industrial - An area within a city or municipality intended primarily for integrated farm operations and related product processing activities.
- Forest - An area within a city or municipality primarily intended for forest purposes.
- Park and other Recreation An area designed for diversion/amusements and for maintenance of ecological balance of the community.
- Water - Bodies of water within cities and municipalities which include rivers, streams, lakes and seas.
- Tourism - Sites within cities and municipalities endowed with natural or manmade physical attributes and resources that are conducive to recreation, leisure and other wholesome activities.
I think we should adopt a tag that should not conflict with the existing map features land-use tag and at the same time conform to the "official" classes adopted by the government. Any Ideas?
