 |Description

+| This highway typology is used for European countries and other regions in Asia or North-America with similar characteristics. It is based on mapping experience in various countries, observations and discussions with NGO's and OSM communities in various countries. In some areas, there is a very dense network of roads with many tracks going in all directions. In such a context, it is important to have a hierarchy of roads that highlights the more important ones for economic activities. highway=tertiary is used to highlight roads interconnecting with regional service towns. Also, highway=unclassified corresponds to minor roads. It is important to distinguish these rural roads interconnecting villages from tracks going to the outskirts of villages or service roads (ie. private roads) going for a short distance to houses. Please note that a highway=track is not a more primitive construction class of a residential road, if you're in doubt of what tag to use, use highway=road, keeping in mind that many highways are formed by repeated foot and animal traffic.
