Tagging Features

Highway

Roads should be tagged in accordance with their official classification or their significance. We can further refine this tagging scheme with active participation from OSM Pakistan users.

Key	Value	Element	Comment	Example
highway	motorway		This tag should be applied to the carriageways of all designated motorways (M1-M10). Do not tag highways as motorways which have not be designated as such by NHA, Pakistan.
highway	motorway_link		The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a motorway (or between two motorways). Only use this on slip roads to which motorway regulations apply (the "last escape" slip road before a road becomes motorway is not a motorway_link and should be tagged as a trunk_link or primary_link as appropriate to the non-motorway road it diverges from)
highway	trunk		All National Highways built, maintained and designated as National Highways by NHA, Pakistan.
highway	trunk_link		The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a National Highway.
highway	primary		A 6 or more lanes dual carriageway. Important or major highways in a city can also be tagged as primary.
highway	primary_link		The link roads (sliproads / ramps).
highway	secondary		Regional highways mostly maintained by the Provincial Governments connecting cities, towns or villages.
highway	tertiary		4 lanes dual carriageway roads in a city or high importance roads.
highway	unclassified		No administrative classification. Unclassified roads typically form the lowest form of the interconnecting grid network. Note: This is not a marker for roads where we still need to choose a highway tag.
highway	residential		Roads accessing or around residential areas and which are not primary, secondary or tertiary.
highway	service		A roadway providing connections to off-road destinations (such as car parks) or servicing private sites (such as industrial estates). Tagging a road as "service" indicates that the roadway should not be considered a through route nor expected to be of high quality. Pending a recognised tag for roads under construction, "service" may also be an appropriate tag for this purpose.

Motorways

Tag as "motorway", typically rendered in blue.
