Hello again, carciofo. I adjusted the route for the trunk highway to more directly connect to the city of Pasto. This is based on my understanding of trunks found on the “Guide for Mapping in Colombia” (osm.wiki/Guide_for_mapping_in_Colombia) which says trunk can connect to major state capitals. The description did not mention anything about trunks circumnavigating major cities.

Hello carciofo. The Colombian definition of Trunk found here (osm.wiki/Guide_for_mapping_in_Colombia) mentions that a trunk highway can connect to “state" capitals, in addition to major ports or international borders. Since Colombia does not have “states” I understood the definition to be discussing department capitals, like Montería, instead.

I connected Montería to the trunk network, due to it being the capital of the Department of Córdoba and its large population size (~455,000). I made this change to reflect the Colombia definition of Trunk found here: osm.wiki/Guide_for_mapping_in_Colombia. Specific portion of the policy I was referring to: “highway=trunk. National trunk roads ("troncales" and "transversales") are defined by the Colombian Transport Ministry as primary roads which start at international border crossings and connect major state capitals and/or ports.”

Thank you for the feedback. The edits were based on my interpretation of Chilean highway guidelines (osm.wiki/ES:Chile:Map_Features “Calles” table). However, are there local highway policies which may overrule those guidelines?
