OK, I see what you mean. I am currently traveling Oman by bicycle and unable to review those changes from my tent, but next time I am staying somewhere stable I will look at those roads again to ensure that link-road tagging is motivated.

This changeset has been reverted by changeset/175793701.

Please respond to changeset comments in order to remain a good-faith member of the community.

My changes were made very deliberately. According to the OSM Wiki, link ways should take the classification of the highest-level way to which they are connected. Thus, for example, a link way joining a primary highway to a tertiary one should be tagged primary_link, etc. It is a simple rule and does not require mappers to think about the "function" of the road.

This is the standard now employed in many of the world's best-mapped countries, and I would urge you to help implement it in Oman wherever it is lacking. Neither foreign mappers nor developers of global navigation aids are likely to know of country-specific quirks.
