Ghana/Road network

Tagging and Naming Hints

See Ghana Road Network in Wikipedia [1]

This wiki is to serve as a guideline for mapping and updating roads in Ghana. The approach to road classification in the country is based on their purpose and not their surface and physical conditions or number of lanes. Surface types in the country is place-specific rather than specific to the various road types. They can be paved, unpaved or under construction and therefore does not determine the type or classification of road. This phenomenon also applies to lanes in national and inter-regional routes whereby the number of lanes does not determine the road's classification.
