Hi,
greecemapper wrote to me this morning that “big primary roads” in Athens should not be secondary or less. I am not sure if the user is asking for a ranking concession for some major avenues in Athens, some of which are already proven to be Provincial roads under Government Gazette of 8 February 1956, Issue 47 and ΦΕΚ B 1932/26.9.2007 in parts of the Peloponnese.
However, the National Road network (currently allocated to primary unless motor-road) is rather minimal already – if many think that the prominence of major avenues should be increased instead of going by what is said at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway:International_equivalence then we would have to consider reviewing the classification system in Greece. The network of motor-roads, similar to grade separated primary routes in the UK, is smaller still.
Please consider the following questions I have:
- Regardless of legal classification, what major avenues should be classed as primary in addition to the National Roads?
- If some major avenues should be classed as primary, then how can we retain the prominence of National Roads and higher-class roads on OSM?
Please refer to the discussion at http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=441395&page=77 and onwards. At the moment I am going by the existing hierarchy (Highway:International equivalence), and if greecemapper thinks that some “big primary roads” in Athens should not be secondary or less then the current system might not be working properly.
