Proposal
A less ambiguous tag as a replacement to highway=unclassified. This proposal aims to find consensus on an appropriate replacement tag. This proposal aims to deprecate the highway=unclassified tag.
Alternative names
- highway=minor
- highway=quaternary
- ...
Rationale
The highway=unclassified tag is named in a confusing way - following the British classification system, OSM editors outside of the UK initially find it a hard concept to get to grips with.
Tagging Discussion
I am proposing highway=<something else other than unclassified>, as a simple progression from primary, secondary and tertiary.
Feel free to propose alternate tags here
- highway=quinary
- highway=local
- highway=ville
- highway=street
