Main photos of highway types

Hello. I noticed that you've changed the photos of various highway=* types (motorway, trunk, primary, secondary, tertiary) on the English wiki and the Indonesian wiki. If you want to show what these roads generally look like in Indonesia, the Indonesian versions are the correct places. The English version mainly applies to English-speaking countries and serves, to some extent, as an international guide. The same highway=* type in OSM can have very different appearances in each country and within the same country. Roads are classified according to their importance and main intended use, and a single photo cannot capture the wide diversity of physical profiles of each of these functional road types. It is very common for two roads that look the same to serve different functions in different locations. Fernando Trebien (talk) 16:48, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
