Hej Omotesando,
I'll point out that I have already raised concerns with raising secondary and B-classified roads in Mauritius to primary here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/80467555
I will extend this by asking specifically: How do the Apple Project contributors determine road classification? Is there some sort of documentation available internally? On what basis is this decided?
user 'sjdvda' changed it to secondary some months ago according to the RDA and I would generally agree with the notion. The B9 doesn't really connect Souillac and Grand Rivière Noire and the villages in between are somewhat outlying.It doesn't really fit with the sizes of villages in Mauritius nor with the OSM definition of primary. So it's hard to understand why this classification is supposed to be right.
Best regards

We follow local classification guidelines and things like the Highway Tag Africa page, when applicable. When local guidelines do not exist we follow the global classification guidelines and whatever trend exists in the country. I talked to sjdvda via private message before this changeset was made.
I think that different reasoning needs to be used in Mauritius because it is a relatively small island: what is a primary road in the US or Germany will not be the same as a primary road in an isolated road network. The B9 seems to be the most important road that travels through this area of Mauritius.
Let me know what you think.
