It isn't emotions though. OSM works on on the ground situation - and the ground situation is that cars can go through the spectator side. I have also crossed this border myself - motorbikes cross the gate and then take a right from the X-ray side, whereas cars go straight onto the roundabout.

On top of several borders around the world are closed, but that hasn't affected their road classification on OSM, the same applies here.

One thing I don't understand is that, if you know that people can cross borders from here, regardless of how light the traffic is why you would still change it to a footpath.

This affects the navigation systems and their maps that rely on OSM, like TomTom and Apple Maps, to name a few. This is G T Road and needs to remain as such.

Road crosses do take place from the spectator seating. Cars and Motorcycles have crossed, even after 2019.

RLakhani, please behave with your border edits. The political situation doesn't change the status of a road.

The name of the road is literally "شاہراہِ گرو نانک" / "Guru Nanak Highway"- it cannot be a service road in any sense.

Brother can you please have the decency to leave comments before making edits? I have done this several times, and you have not responded. This is not a one-way street. Let's discuss.

The entire area is known as Kartarpur, it is a town. It doesn't matter whether the centre is a Gurudwara or not. Kartarpur is an official locality, and so there needs to be a town marker. It is a town on local maps, and on other online maps, and government maps. I am re-adding it. Do not remove it. This might be a simple change for you, but it affects other maps as well, so discuss this.

2. What requirements? It is a road that connects two major towns - Kartarpur and Dera Baba Nanak. That's like saying the G.T Road is a service road.

Let's be logical about this.

And please stop blocking the roads from the Pakistani side.

Bro, Burki Road sari primary road hai. Lahore shehr se lekar Bhikhiwind tak jaati hai.

Hi Ezra, is this to me or RLakhani?

Hi, the Jammu road links Sialkot and Jammu and several towns. Shouldn't this be a primary road?

Hi Nilesh, why were these roads reclassified as tertiary roads?

Hi, please use the feature 'Mobile Phone Mast' or 'Communication Tower' for adding Telecom Towers. You can also specify the networks (ie. "4G" etc.), as well the name of the Network(s).

Am I correct in assuming that the entire part of the 'M-15 motorway' after Mansehra is supposed be classified as a Trunk road?

Hi YoungHiro45,

Apologies! Yes of course. I wasn't aware of the guidelines, but it makes sense now! I'll try and reclassify the sections back to trunk! Feel free to undo any other changes / mistakes I may have made.

Hi RLakhani. At the moment, the road is only being used by bus shuttles to transport pilgrims (who can also walk to the site if they wish), but the committee does clearly seem to have plans to allow access to pilgrims to reach the site via cars in the near future. They have built car parks at, both, the immigration terminal as well as the actual Gurudwara. Should it not be marked as some sort of highway/main road?

Hi thanks for pointing it out. I've added the tags. It may have been that I might have removed them accidentally while adding the Mosque and the hall, when I was sorting out the area.

Hi! Yes I add both tags, just in case one or the other is used by other 3rd party sites (for instance - I know Spotify & MSN weirdly use the pa-Arab tags for the localised Shahmukhi page), otherwise I'm mainly for the 'pnb' ISO code. It's also the code used by Wiki projects.

(You can CTRL + F "بتھیسڈا"), but for a lot of the other places, I've been transliterating them based on local sources, and language knowledge.

Hi Phil, are you talking about the Urdu name?
