What actually changed?

I support extending highway=primary on Yonge Street north from Highway 7 to Major Mackenzie.

This section functions as a high capacity through arterial and a regional transit spine rather than a strictly local street. The existing cross section with three traffic lanes, a centre median Viva Rapidway with median stations, continuous protected cycle tracks and sidewalks materially increases person throughput and prioritizes rapid, uninterrupted transit movement. Extending the primary classification preserves logical network continuity between Highway 7 and Major Mackenzie, improves routing fidelity for transit and long distance routing engines, and signals to data consumers that this corridor is intended for higher priority through movement. For these operational and semantic reasons, I recommend retaining highway=primary on the edited segment.

What should Allen road be?

Ok. I will get back to you. Also, keep in mind why Highway 7 is classified as a primary road, then?

Also, Jarek, do you by anychance live in the immediate area?

Also, I would really be careful with Major Mac. It probably is a secondary road. People in the area may have classified it as that because it seems like that when driving on it.

It is a city-managed road that only goes 80 Km; therefore, it is a primary road. If you would like to change, you can. I live in the area, and I thought that classification makes the most sense for this. This is not a highway, and by the way, Major Mac can be classified as both a primary road and a secondary road. Dependent on what you think. It is a major regional road with multiple lanes.

Hi there, I fixed Allen Road according to what the City of Toronto said. I contacted Toronto 311 and was told that it should be classified as a Primary road and not a motorway, as it is not a highway at all and is classified as a municipal major road. Also, a road is not classified as a highway in Ontario until it has a 100 Km/h speed limit. Allen Road, in some parts, is a maximum of 80Km/h.
