In the MapRaid, a lot of new roads are drawn, improving local and remote connectivity. It is not always easy to find out what type of road to apply. Use the road markers next to the major roads to determine what to apply. They appear every 1 to 2 kms for those major roads.
Here some guidelines (subject to review)
Always classify as Highways:
Picture | Classification , Naming |
---|---|
Major Highway , Hwy 11 | |
Major Highway , Hwy 206 | |
Minor Highway , Hwy 4006 |
Classify as Minor Highway when the road provides robust connectivity between 2 major areas and/or major Highways. Using this route, connectivity on 10 to 20 km range is improved significantly. In order to check this, especially for the oldest roads - you may want to check portions of the route. If they are fully detoriated, it is unlikely they provide robust connectivity. Classify as Primary Street otherwise.

Classify as Primary Street when the road unlocks connectivity to one large and/or multiple smaller villages.
