Should Elsfield Road and Oxford Road through Marston be tertiary?

Pro:
- they distribute village traffic to the more major roads, library, and schools
- route to the Victoria Arms for visitors
- a bus route
- certainly a bit more than just residential minor roads

Cons:
- still quite narrow
- no centre line (but many far clearer tertiaries within Oxford don't have them either)
- restricted to destination only (unless you're a bus)

Potential consequences:
Probably Old Marston Road in New Marston is tertiary too, if these are.

Barton Fields Road may be better as highway=tertiary, since it's more than just residential now it's connected to things:

- bus routes
- connects school to residential streets
- connects A40 to Barton
- mostly quite wide, with parking done in bays

This would have knock-on effects, since it logically forces several roads to the East to be tertiary and not residential too, mostly for 1-way bus loop reasons. Is that sufficient?

- Fettiplace Road (bus loop)
- Underhill Circus (bus loop, shops)
- Stowford Road (bus loop)
- Burchester Avenue (bus loop)
- North Way (bus loop)
- the linking bit of Barton Village Road (bus loop)

Apart from Burchester Avenue, they are all fairly narrow and cluttered for a tertiary road, with lots of poorly jammed in on-street parking. The bus companies only run buses one way on the Barton roads as a consequence.

Waynflete Road, on the other side, is more obviously tertiary. It's just another part of the bus route loop, but it also links to the schools and leisure centre on that side.

Disused pub and its area need fixing up. Still visible as a pub. Also, the pavements in this area need an OTG survey to see how they continue up Old Road: Bing;s not quite good enough, and there's that strip of maybe-pavement between the service road the the road proper.

Pretty sure the pub is gone: https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/21869151.crown-thistle-pub-headington-turned-homes/

The bus co renamed the bus stop from "Crown and Thistle PH", but still use the pub building as a named landmark in the data: https://bustimes.org/stops/340001370OUT
