5 trunk Hostile 40 MPH 24 yes 25
6 residential Quiet Street 24 yes 95
7 footway Footpath 6 yes 70 The OSM interpretation of 'footway' is much more like a 'footpath'.
8 cycleway Segregated Shared Use 24 yes yes 75 On road: When OSM's cycleway tag refers to 'track' in its value. When the tag has opposite_track in its value it refers to a contra-flow feature, so the 'way' is imported as two-way.

10 track Track 16 yes yes 100
11 motorway Motorway 0 10
12 primary_link Busy Road 24 yes 50

24 unsurfaced Track 16 yes yes 100
25 tertiary_link Busy Road 24 yes 50
26 cycleway=lane Cycle Lane 24 yes 90 On road: When OSM's cycleway tag refers to 'lane' in its value. When the tag has opposite_lane in its value it refers to a contra-flow cycle lane, so the 'way' is imported as a two-way cycle lane.
27 highway=pedestrian bicycle=yes Unsegregated Shared Use 16 yes yes 75 highway=Pedestrian with bicycle=yes maps to Unsegregated Shared use.
28 error Link Indicator 0 100 An unrecognised highway tag has been encountered. These all need repairing. Some of them are simple spelling mistakes, others are trying to use unknown types, or are mixing types into the same way.
