Talk:International highway classification equivalence
Note: "highway=residential and highway=living_street should be used in residential areas, when primary does not apply." and similar are out of synch with at least Key:highway, at least since http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:highway&diff=980296&oldid=969094 Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 09:34, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Motorway/trunk in Lithuania
Right now, according to the table, highway=motorway is to be used for
- Restricted access roads (greitkeliai ir automagistralės)
- Trunk roads (magistraliniai keliai) (A-numbered roads)
- City municipalities: High-speed streets (Greito eismo gatvės) with no foot or bicycle permited
This is not how roads are currently being tagged in Lithuania. According to current practice, highway=motorway is used exclusively for motorways. On the ground, these roads are marked with traffic sign 501 (as shown in the table, except the background is green – that is an error in Wikimedia Commons).
Roads which are not marked with this sign are tagged as highway=trunk. These can be dual-carriageway roads which are not fully up to expressway standards, e.g. because of level crossings. Examples are the parts of the A1/A2/A5 which run through Vilnius, Kaunas and/or Klaipėda, or the A13 from Palanga to Klaipėda.
As far a I know, this has been the tagging practice since at least 2010. Unless there’s a community decision that I’ve missed and which has not been implemented yet. The only cases I know of roads being retagged is because they were officially upgraded to motorways after reconstruction.--Stanton (talk) 19:29, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
