The meaning of "Change highway tags to reflect real usage"

[slice0]

@RobJN

Not at all. And it seems like the replies to the thread below go a long way to answering this for you. I would just add that lots of frontages (shops, government entities and doctors) does not increase the classification of the road. In fact it likely decreases the classification. Consider motorways for example; they have no shops directly on them. Residential roads are full of active frontages (i.e. people’s homes and their driveways).

I mentioned the buildings because they add to the traffic flow, there is a cinema on gawler street as well, just trying to say that it is far from a quiet little street that you see by looking at imagery. I took the amount of traffic in consideration when weighing up the government classification at the time.
