Märgis highway on maanteede peamine märgis. Tihtipeale on see ka nende ainus märgis. See on väga üldine ja mõnikord ebamäärane tee tähtsuse kirjeldus teevõrgustikus.

Kuigi see pole niivõrd täpne kui teised märgised, on see vägagi kasulik, kuna juba algeline klassifitseerimine võimaldab maantee mõistlikku esitust kaardil koheselt, kuni muid andmeid alles kogutakse. Samuti võib highway märgise väärtuse põhjal järeldada mitmete teiste märgiste väärtusi üheskoos muu informatsiooniga, nagu teised märgised ning asukoht.

Kui kirjeldustes on kasutatud teatud ametlikke tähiseid ning mõned märgised ühtivad ametlike kirjeldustega, nt kiirtee puhul, on üldine seisukoht, et märgis highway on maantee üldise tähtsuse kirjeldamiseks teevõrgustikus. See annab tee kasutajale rohkem kasulikku infot kui ametlik klassifikatsioon või füüsilised näitajad, mis piirkonniti vägagi erinevad (liiklustihedus, asustustihedus, jõukus).

Tee detailsemaks kirjeldamiseks on tungivalt soovitatav lisada füüsilised ja ametlikud tunnused nagu lanes=*, surface=*, maxspeed=*, maxheight=* ja width=*. Need on olulised kuna tee kasutajal on eeldatavasti tarvis teada tee füüsilist struktuuri ja ametlikke piiranguid. Juhil on tarvis teada, kas tee on üherajaline või neljarajaline. Seda kasutatakse ka teekonna kestuse hindamisel mõnedes rakendustes.

Pane tähele: Allpool toodud national guidelines for highway classification püüab selgitada, kuidas neid põhimõtteid rakendada eri riikides, mõnikord põhinedes ka füüsilistel näitajatel ning kohalikel ametlikel/administratiivsetel tähistustel.

highway märgis ja seaduslik kasutus.

Kui mõned märgise väärtused nagu cycleway ja bridleway kannavad endas teatud liikluse tähistust, tuleks kasutada teisi märgised, tähistamaks, milline liiklus on seaduslikult lubatud või pole lubatud. Vaata lisainfoks access=*.

Võrgustike ja teekondade süsteemid.

highway märgise väärtus tuleks määrata vaatamata võrgustike ja teekondade süsteemidele. Paljudes riikides võib teatud teelõik olla mitmete erinevate teekondade osa ja seda kas samas või erinevas võrgustikus ning teatud teekonnal võib olla erinevate atribuutidega sektsioone ning seega ka erinevaid highway märgiseid. Teekondade ja võrgustike märgistamisel järgi riigipõhiseid juhiseid.

Teed

Teed ja tänavad. Liigitus lähtub üldiselt nende olulisusest teedevõrgustikus (mitte laiusest, kattematerjalist vms). Lähtekohad olulisuse hindamiseks on teeregister (kaardirakendus) ja kohalike omavalitsuste õigusaktid (nt. Tallinna tänavate liigitus). Seadusekohased definitsioonid vt Teeseadusest

Roads are ranked by the highest level that meets one of the following criteria ->
Paved road, with opposite separated carriageways, WITHOUT level crossings and at least 10 km long. 1 - Rural dual carriage paved road WITH level crossings and at least 10 km long

2 - The best paved road route connecting 2 urban centers with more than 200,000 inhabitants
3 - Paved urban road connecting trunk or motorway with each other
4 - Main urban structural road, in cities with more than 200 thousand inhabitants

1 - Paved road that is the best route from a urban centers with more than 20 thousand inhabitants to a larger urban center

2 - Paved urban road connecting primary roads with each other or with higher-level roads
3 - Urban structural road, in cities with more than 20 thousand inhabitants that crosses the city (generally this is the road that also fits on item 1)

1 - Road that is the best route from urban centers with more than 2 thousand inhabitants* to larger urban centers*. * also include all municipal seat smaller than 2 thousand inhabitants

2 - Urban road connecting secondary roads with each other or with higher-level roads
3 - Urban arterial road connecting several suburbs

1 - A road that is the best route from urban centers smaller than 2 thousand inhabitants to larger urban centers

2 - Urban road connecting tertiary roads with each other or with higher-level roads
3 - Urban collector (and/or distributor) road (main roads leading to higher level roads)

Unclassified and residential roads are considered at the same level of importance.

Unclassified - (1) a road in a non-residential urban area, OR, (2) other rural public roads
Residential - Road in urban residential area

Brunei Controlled-access highway: Single or dual (or more) carriageway roads with no private accesses, no at-grade intersections that crosses the median (including direct U-turns), no signalised intersections and no roundabouts. This criterion excludes any intersection at the two ends of the route. In the case of a single carriageway it must be a one-way expressway at all points in time, contain at least one reversible lane, or have exactly one lane in each direction with overtaking using the lane on the opposing direction prohibited. A limited number of roads with "highway" (English) or "lebuhraya" (Malay) in their names (i.e. those that meet the above criteria) fall under this category. Limited-access road: Single or dual (or more) carriageway roads that are similar to the criteria of a motorway, but permits for a variety of intersections, including private accesses, all at-grade and signalised intersections, and roundabbouts, and a flexible number of lanes on a single carriageway, but vehicles can only drive across the lanes in the opposite directions at designated points on the road (such as gaps in the median, if any). Most roads with "highway" (English) or "lebuhraya" (Malay) in their names fall under this category. Important, high-traffic roads connecting between towns and/or residential areas may also fall under this category. The speed limit ranges from 65 km/h on urban roads with a lot of private accesses to 100 km/h on inter-district roads with less dense traffic. Frequently used roads within cities, towns and shopping districts, and roads connecting urban areas or urban to rural/residential areas. Usually has a speed limit between 50 km/h and 80 km/h. Roads that are less frequently used. Roads connecting two or more rural areas without passing through an urban area fit into this category. Less significant roads and collector roads. Roads that do not fit in any categories listed here nor other categories. Most "simpangs" fall under the "residential" category.

Provincial primary highway that does not meet freeway standards
(e.g. the King's Highways [provincial highways 2 through 148] in Ontario, 100-series highways in Quebec, Highway 95 in BC).
Provincial secondary highway or county/regional road that does not meet freeway standards. In urban or suburban contexts, the most important arterial roads that are neither freeway standard nor part of a provincial highway route merit this clasification.
(e.g. Yonge, Finch, Steeles etc. in Toronto, Macleod Trail in Calgary).

Urban: Primary road that continues as a trunk road or motorway in two directions if there are no junctions with primary (or higher) roads or at least one direction if there are. In undeveloped areas (Labrador, the three Territories, northern Ontario and Québec): Classifications are moved up so that the most important roads in the area are marked primary even if they do not meet the usual criteria.

Rural: Paved. 95 km/h or higher effective speed. Painted centre and side lines. Lanes at least 3.5 m wide. Urban: Paved. At least 4 lanes. Carries markedly more traffic than secondary roads. Continues out of urban areas.

Road corridors that carries a huge volume of traffic between arterial roads and has a high density of public transport services. These roads often connect two relatively distant localities in urban areas. Collector roads that carry lower volume of traffic and has either no public transport service or a lower density of public transport service. These roads often connect two neighboring/nearby localities in urban areas. Longer roads serving several villages Rural vehicular highways

Expressways

Generally divided, have no at-grade road intersections, and usually tolled. Speed limits always posted.

Major highways linking large cities (population: 100,000+), and urban highways or avenues resembling expressways (usually divided).

Strategic road network, forming the road transportation backbone. May have ramps, partial control of access and grade separation, but are not necessary to consider upgrade. Road to be upgraded should be at least 10 km long.

Other large highways connecting smaller cities (populations <100,000) and large towns (population 100,000); major urban arteries. Highways to medium-sized towns (populations: 10,000-100,000); other urban arterial roads, usually one linking three or more districts/barangays. Highways to small towns (population: <10,000); all other roads linking barangays with each other Other rural roads that don't fit the classes above, and residential; local streets outside residential areas, and in mixed-use areas

motorroad=yes se utiliza para las Spain traffic signal s3.svg Vías para automóviles, antiguamente conocidas como Spain traffic signal s1b.svg Vías rápidas: carreteras con limitación de acceso y que no son cortadas a nivel por ninguna otra vía. Pueden ser de doble sentido o tener calzadas separadas para cada sentido de la marcha, pero la condición esencial es la ausencia de cruces a nivel. Se usa el criterio de arriba para determinar el valor de highway=*, y se añade motorroad=yes. Nota: cualquier carretera que cumpla las condiciones se admite, aunque no tenga las señales indicadas.

motorroad=yes is used for Spain traffic signal s3.svg Vías para automóviles, previously known as Spain traffic signal s1b.svg Expressways: roads with restricted access and no level crossings at all. They might have as few as a single lane per direction in a single carriageway, but the essential condition is the lack of level crossings. Use the above classification to determine the highway=* value and add motorroad=yes. Nota: the signs themselves are not a requirement, any road matching the description for a significative length qualifies.

Only some freeways (called "Autopista"): Dual carriageway highways divided by a physical divider with 2 or more lanes in each direction, directly connected to national roads, strictly limited access by ramps that allow speed reduction outside the main carriageway. Must not have same-level crossroads, traffic lights, roundabouts, or u-turn ramps that merge on the left-lane (usually called "Retorno").[1]

There should be no streets or roads that connect directly to the highway if it is not through a well-defined ramp. There should also be no buildings or properties adjacent to the highway or any of its access ramps.

Legally 90 km/h speed limit.[1]

National roads network that cross the entire country connecting the most important cities. Regional roads network that connect the most important cities and towns of each State. Main roads or streets that move a highly amount of population, which is obliged to pass through it to connect with others higher-priority roads. Main roads or streets that move a moderate amount of population, which is obliged to pass through it to connect with others higher-priority roads. Generic roads in non-urban areas.
Vietnam BBDCTstupid zps9f985854.jpg Đường cao tốc

Đường hai chiều chỉ dành cho các loại xe cơ giới, cấm xe thô sơ và người đi bộ. Tốc độ cho phép thường từ 40-80km/h. Giới hạn tốc độ được áp dụng riêng biệt cho mỗi loại xe trong từng làn đường. Mỗi chiều thường có 1-5 làn dành cho các loại ô tô và một làn riêng dành cho xe mô tô.

Expressways (đường cao tốc)

Đường lớn, mật độ giao thông cao, có nhiều điểm chung với đường cao tốc nhưng chưa phải là đường cao tốc. Những loại đường này thường tương đối hiện đại. Có thể chỉ cho phép ô tô lưu thông.

High-quality National Highways that are not expressways. Usually divided and with partial grade separation.

Đường trọng điểm có mật độ giao thông lớn, đóng vai trò chính trong việc đi lại giữa nhiều khu vực. Bao gồm cả quốc lộ. Đường liên xã cũng có thể tính vào loại này ở các khu vực rất hẻo lánh.

National Highways (quốc lộ/QL).

Đường có thể có mật độ giao thông vừa đến lớn, cũng dùng để đi lại giữa các khu vực. Cũng bao gồm tỉnh lộ. Đường này thường dùng để giảm số lượng xe lưu thông qua các tuyến trọng điểm, có thể giúp người tham gia giao thông đi đến khu vực cần đến nhanh hơn.

Provincial highways (tỉnh lộ/TL).

Đường dân sinh, có mật độ giao thông nhỏ đến vừa, giúp đi lại giữa các khu dân cư và có thể nối một số đường giao thông lớn hơn.

Low-traffic roads that connect residential areas or villages with the provincial and national networks.

Ngõ rộng có mật độ giao thông nhỏ hoặc các tuyến đường nhỏ trong khu dân cư không được đặt tên. Những đường này có chiều rộng chỉ đủ cho một ô tô lưu thông và những xe nhỏ hơn có thể vượt lên khỏi ô tô đó.

Minor roads, usually narrow.
