Proposal B

Guidelines

• Principles of highway=*
  • Reflect functional importance, not physical characteristics
  • Only change class at intersections, or merge (where the functionality can logically change from new entering traffic)
  • highway=motorway applies after last diverge (where you can exit the road without entering Expressway area)
  • Don't use highway=*_link for ground-level roadways with an overpass or underpass
    • It should be a considered a fork/branch
    • You aren't exiting the road, conceptually, naming-wise, and routing-wise (gives misleading instruction)
    • There are often other roads connecting to them, meaning only a short section can technically be considered for highway=*_link
    • There are often access roads highway=service
• Adjustment factors for consideration (not absolute)
  • +1 highway=* class promotion
    • Diversion route to serve a banned turning movement at an intersection
      • Pine Tree Hill Rd, Hillwood Rd
    • Connects between more important highway=*
      • Tai Hom Rd (Rt7 → Rt2)
      • Yiu Sing St (Rt4 → Rt1)
  • -1 highway=* class demotion
    • "Private road"
      • Whampoa
      • City One
    • There is a more important and better connected road that's used as far as possible
      • King's Rd (vs IEC)
      • Ping Ha Rd (vs Tin Ying Rd)

highway=*	描述 Description	例子 Examples	Description
motorway	法定快速公路、 法定行車隧道及隧道管制區 Designated expressways, designated road tunnels and tunnel areas . 連接快速公路的支路而有路牌生效的範圍則必須以highway=motorway_link表示。 Slip roads connecting to expressways with effect by road sign must be tagged with highway=motorway_link.	東區走廊 Island East Corridor 東九龍走廊 East Kowloon Corridor 啟德隧道 Kai Tak Tunnel	Designated Expressways (also see motorway=* ) Island Eastern Corridor Main line roads which only connect with Expressway Shun Long Rd Tsing Yi N Coastal Rd (west of Tam Kon Shan Rd) Hung Tin Rd (south of Hung Chi Rd) Tunnel Area connecting only Expressway should be kept as highway=motorway , with motorway=no and motorroad=yes added Tsing Sha Hwy Cheung Tsing Tunnel Scenic Hill Tunnel

primary	不屬於指定幹線唯有幹線重要性及跨區交通功能路段，亦包括連接較高規格道路（如高速公路）及一般街道的集散道路。 Road sections that do not belong to any routes but have the importance and characteristics of a trunk route for cross-district traffic, and also distributor roads connecting higher-performance roads (e.g. motorways) and ordinary streets. 以前屬幹線公路後來被剔出的道路，以及第一代幹線編號系統中的區域幹道（未被新建道路取代者），一般應屬primary。 Roads that were parts of trunk routes but removed later, and the regional routes in 1st generation route numbering system (which haven't been replaced by new roads yet), should normally be primary. 經擴闊及改善的郊區主幹道，可容納較高車流量者，亦可視作primary。 Rural routes which have been widened and improved, with the ability to carry larger amount of traffic, can also be considered primary.	薄扶林道 Pok Fu Lam Road 太子道東 Prince Edward Road East 亞皆老街 Argyle Street 馬鞍山繞道 Ma On Shan Bypass	Regionally important roads connecting districts Pok Fu Lam Road Prince Edward Road East Argyle Street Ma On Shan Bypass Next obvious alternative route to a highway=motorway or highway=trunk connecting regions Tai Po Rd (Kowloon ↔ Shatin ) Castle Peak Rd (Sham Tseng ↔ Tsuen Wan) Castle Peak Rd (Sham Tseng ↔ Tuen Mun) : Diversion from Siu Lam Interchange for the morning peak bus lane Other cross-border roads Sha Tau Kok Rd Man Kam To Rd

residential	民居旁的街道，一般只用以通往其物業。 Streets alongside residential areas, normally used only for accessing the property.	飛鵝山道 Fei Ngo Shan Road	Local streets for residential areas Roads inside a village
living_street	設有行人優先路牌的街道。 Streets with pedestrian legal right-of-way.		Roads equivalent to highway=residential with legal pedestrian priority (see also living_street=* )
pedestrian	行人專用道路。 Pedestrian-only streets.		Roads physically capable of travel by two-tracked vehicle (eg dropped kerbs, crash gates, etc, on at least one terminal), but functionally have pedestrians as the main user: Use sidewalk=* / sidewalk:*=* to further specify Full-time pedestrianization Part-time pedestrianization for most time of every day Street markets (narrowed by stalls, blocked by pedestrians Emergency Vehicular Access that prohibit public and resident motorized vehicles https://www.hkfsd.gov.hk/images/eva2.gif https://www.hkfsd.gov.hk/eng/faq/faq_safety/
