Hey KohlBaba. They're almost definitely barangays as Malibcong is divided into 12 of those. But I agree with your argument about remoteness. While the road might be of higher importance than the other unclassifieds further east, it would be of lower than average importance for a tertiary. Thanks again and have a nice day!

Thank you for your reconsideration. Use of tertiary/secondary depends a lot on the population density of a particular area. The general rule of thumb seems to be that a town with a population of 10'000+ has a secondary road leading to the poblacion and then multiple tertiary roads leading to the various barangays with populations of 500+ (that's about the size of Licuaan-Bay Poblacion, roughly 100 houses). And then a bunch of unclassified roads connecting the remaining minor settlements.

In a very small and remote towns like Licuaan-Bay everything is just shifted down by one class. I.e. tertiary for the poblacion, unclassified for some barangays and often just paths or tracks for the most remote barangays and sitios.

In the example of Malibcong I'd suggest to further extend the tertiary classification all the way to the settlement at node 8416782255 as this road directly connects three of the major settlements of the town and additionaly serves as a collector road for people coming from all other settlements.

Good day KohlBaba. I'm curious about why you downgraded this road to unclassified. According to the Philippines mapping conventions it would even fulfill some of the criteria for secondary classification, but considering the small size of the town the previous tertiary classification seemed to be well-thought-out.

Same goes for way 903660336. While it might be difficult to assess from aerial imagery alone, on the ground this is clearly a tertiary road.

Hello Chiricahua. According to the osm wiki residential roads serve as an access to housing, without function of connecting settlements. This road is obviously a direct connection of the village of Toril to the greater road network. Further this road also connects to the villages of Libuak, Cogon, San Antonio so tertiary seems to be the appropriate classification.

Good day AntelopeCliif. Assessing the classification of roads can be difficult from aerial imagery alone. In this changeset you upgraded a private driveway as well as unpaved tracks not passable to any car to unclassified. I reverted these changes. When remotely mapping roads please check way histories to see if existing classifications might have been sourced from actual on the ground surveys. Thank you.

Hi TaraRiverCanyon, Tawan-tawan is a very populous village with nearly 4000 residents. The way that you are referring to is of equal significance as any other parts of its tertiary road network.

Hi QhapacNan, I think tertiary is the appropriate classification for this road as it serves as a busy main road for the residents of several hundred households. San Agustin is tagged as a hamlet because it is a Sitio politically subordinated to the Barangay of Daliaon Plantation, but de facto it is a village on its own.

Good day. Assessing the classification of roads can be difficult from aerial imagery alone. Before up- or downgrading please check way histories to see if existing classifications might have been sourced from actual on the ground surveys. Thank you!

Good day. Assessing the classification of roads can be difficult from aerial imagery alone. The road that was upgraded to tertiary in this changeset ist a dirt road that is barely passable by cars. Please check way histories to see if existing classifications might be sourced from on the ground mapping. Thank you!

Good day. Assessing the classification of roads can be difficult from aerial imagery alone. Please check way histories to see if existing classifications might be sourced from on the ground mapping. Also please consider using the tag surface=unpaved when changing tracks to unclassified or residential. Thank you!

Good day. Assessing the classification of roads can be difficult from aerial imagery alone. The two segments in this changeset are very rough roads that are almost exclusively used by residents. Please check way histories to see if existing classifications might be sourced from on the ground mapping. Thanks!

This changeset ist full of fictional objects (tertiary type balo rd, spice bridge, landuse farmland, etc.) as well as tagging errors (waterway segments tagged as highways, road name abbreviations, etc.). Are you aware that edits like this are harming the effort of countless volunteers who are working together to create an accurate map of the world?

You upgraded way 761154760 from construction to trunk. This does not seem to be right to me. This road is still heavily under construction and not yet open for public. Even once construction is finished it will rather be a primary road than a trunk.

This specific segment of the davao coastal road is not even under construction yet. May I ask what led you to upgrade it to tertiary?

In this changeset you changed a properly mapped culvert segment of a river from a waterway into a roadtype and you removed the culvert related tags. I'm noticing that many of your changesets contain "mistakes" of that manner... are you aware of this?

You changed the roadtype from track to tertiary for way 540276816 and 114758306. May I ask you what led you to do so? I've passed by that road just yesterday and it's clearly still an unpaved track that's barely passable for motor vehicles.

Thanks for letting me know. I forgot to check the position inside the relation after merging two oneway segments. The problem should be fixed now.

That's indeed how bridges should be mapped. Did I accidentally create one differently in this changeset?

Hi manings, thank you! The removal of the tags was unintentional, I reversed it now. I was just trying to figure out how to edit several roads at once.
