Yep, agreed. It looks like highway=secondary is supposed to be used for "major arterial roads" (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dsecondary). That definitely also seems to be true when looking at other cities, such as Richmond and even Durham.
I'm not sure which roads would be considered arterial roads in Raleigh though. Maybe someone who spends a lot of time in downtown Raleigh could answer that better.
Considering south Wilmington street and South Salisbury Street connect to a large highway to the south, I'd definitely say those count as secondary.
On the north end of them, Peace seems like a pretty major road, since it connects to both Salisbury and Wilmington, as well as connecting to 70/401/50 on the west. But I don't think it should be considered a primary street. Maybe we should bump that down to secondary?
Blount and Person both connect to a highway to the south, so I think keeping them as secondary makes sense.
South East Street doesn't seem to be a direct feeder from any highway. So that could probably be bumped down to tertiary.
I think South Street, Lenoir Street, Davie, Martin, and Hargett can all be bumped down to tertiary.
Thoughts?
I think that all sounds reasonable. Making Hargett into a tertiary street should probably also come with the southernmost block of Saint Marys being similarly reclassified, to avoid having a stub of a secondary road to nowhere.
Lane and Jones streets could probably be set as tertiary as well without hurting anything.
Yep, that all seems good to me. I'll update this in little bit.
has this been updated and resolved?
Nope. I haven't had the chance. If anyone else wants to take care of it, go for it.
