OSM Tag History
StyleInfo
Use
highway
secondary
to tag highways which are not part of major routes, but nevertheless form a link in the national route network. Secondary highways are generally specified by country road classification bylaws and assigned a
ref
reference code
. In developed countries, it is normally a paved road with at least one lane per direction, usually separated by a central line. In areas with worse infrastructure road quality may be far worse.
In cities it is usually used to tag
arterial roads
of lesser importance than
primary
roads. See the
international highway classification equivalence
for an overview of highway tagging principles among countries.
How to map
Select all
ways
which belong to the highway and tag them with
highway
secondary
To attach more information for the highway you should add further keys.
name
name
The name of the highway, for example Skipton Road
maxspeed
number
The maximum speed, in kilometers per hour which is allowed on the road, for example 120
ref
reference code
The reference number of the road, for example R 372 or C 452
loc_name
name
The unofficial or local name for a road
maxweight
number
The weight limit in tonnes, for example 5.5
winter_service
=*
– if winter service is provided
Special situations
When a highway section runs over a bridge or through a tunnel, split the way from the rest of the road and tag it with one of:
bridge
yes
– if it goes over a street or waterway
tunnel
yes
– if it goes below a street or waterway
Roads with
dual carriageways
, less commonly classified as secondary, should be mapped as two parallel ways, one for each traffic direction, adding
oneway
yes
Route relations
In OSM, roads are divided into many sections (ways) which differ by tag values such as
maxspeed
=*
bridge
=*
or
tunnel
=*
. Those sections should be added to a
route relation
that identifies them as a single legally defined route with common properties (typically
ref
=*
operator
=*
name
=*
from
=*
to
=*
).
