Hello AlkalIn,
I see that you have been making a lot of highway classification changes in Central Africa, namely upgrading primary and secondary highways to trunk that have “N” highway refs such as the ones in this changeset. Would you mind sharing what prompted these classification changes, as well as what resources you are using when making these edits?
According to many of the OSM wiki country pages and Highway Tag Africa page (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa), these edits contradict the agreed-upon classification schemes in these countries.
Since these edits are on such a large scale, I’m also curious if you have discussed these changes with other members of the OSM community. If so, would you mind pointing me to where that discussion took place?
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi cats_pajama,
I based this tag change on the guidline found in the wiki page of highway tags in Africa (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa). The wiki state that highway=trunk should be used for “The most important roads in a country’s system that aren’t motorways. (Need not necessarily be a divided highway.) Note that such roads can be unpaved.”Given that in these countries National Roads (RN, NR or N, depending on country) are the most important roads, then trunk should be the most apropriated tag for these.
Do you think another classficiation is justified for these national roads ?
All the best,
