How should we tag highway system items?[edit]

This is a continuation/digression of the above discussion.

Currently, there are two ways to tag highway system items, such as Interstate Highway System (Q94247) or first-class roads (Q4582413). One is to tag it as a subclass of road (Q34442) or a similar class (like highway (Q269949)). The other is to tag it as an instance of road network (Q358078) or a subclass (primarily highway system (Q25631158)). The constraint validation code for transport network (P16) treats only the first as valid, though the constraint may be malformed with regards to road network (Q358078). Should we standardize on one or the other (or both) or leave the status quo in place? -happy 5214 01:02, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Every route can be decribed e.g.

Not every road have end on other road, sometimes it is only unclassified municipal road, local square or railway station.

But how to describe through points? is there some property like through station (Q55490) for this? I found only located on linear feature (P795) but this property should be inverse. JAn Dudík (talk) 07:24, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should connects with (P2789) be used to connect different roads together (ones that intersect, of course)? Sam Wilson 10:44, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
