Discussion

Naming

• First decide on the fundamental question, then consider naming
• Stroads :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORzNZUeUHAM
  • Streets are where people live, lowest speed limits
  • Roads are how you get from A to B, medium speed limits
  • Stroads sit in the middle
  • conversation about streets vs roads
• Folks tag road as unclassified when unsure about road class

Outreach

• Start local community discussion
• Lithuania post https://hackmd.io/BTKpwNrTRzWDA78ZUyO29g
• SE asian communities use unclassified as major, but below tertiary
• Idea to Prepare a community survey

• Capturing things like speed limits as tags on the same highway class; can we capture all the characteristics that distinguish unclassified from residential/tertiary wi
