Trunk
  • Primary national roads and major urban thoroughfares connecting major cities and administrative areas.
    • Urban areas: typically four-lane roads with a white center line or divided multi-lane roads with a center island.
    • Rural trunk roads may range from two-lane roads to four-lane roads, sometimes the two added lanes are former shoulders.

Rationale

Access details (revised)

Name Description Examples
access=permissive Roads that permit outside traffic unconditionally. Roads on some subdivisions. Drive-thru of fast-food restaurants.
access=private Roads leading to a private house/lot and usually dead-end Roads running through privately owned land, usually marked with No Trespassing signs.
access=destination Roads only allowing local traffic (bound for the destination, usually with conditions for outsiders) Roads on private subdivisions/residential areas, where a sticker is required for access, unless one is a short-period visitor.
toll=yes Payment is needed for using a road, either by card, ticket, toll barrier, or electronic collection, as in toll roads. All expressways in the Philippines. Not all segments are tolled, like the South Luzon Expressway between Calamba toll plaza and Ayala Greenfield toll plaza. Others have barriers or toll plazas on the entrances only, like the portion of the North Luzon Expressway between Balintawak toll plaza and Bocaue Exit. Do not tag exit ramps without toll gates with toll=yes, and only tag the main expressway and the entrances.

Road route relations

Routes of national roads maintained/designated by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) should be named on the name designated (if the route number represents the whole road route) or, in case, the route number (if route number is divided into differently named roads, e.g. N 120 in Metro Manila). Tertiary roads are to have their relations, unless the designated name matches the signed or local names.

Tag Description Examples/tags
name The route number, in the format E[number] or Route [number]. Add a name in parentheses if the whole route has one known name. E2, Route 1, Route 65, Route 420 (Santa Rosa - Ulat - Tagaytay Road),
ref The signed number of the route. 1, 65, 120, E2
network The route system where the road belongs. For the national highways in the Philippines, the network is the National Highway Network (NHN). PH:nhn
nhn:class The classification of the road by the Department of Public Works and Highways. primary; secondary; tertiary
route The type of road
