'trunk' | A restricted access major divided highway, normally with 2 or more running lanes plus emergency hard shoulder. Equivalent to the Freeway, Autobahn, etc.. |
'trunk_link' | The link roads (sliproads/ramps) leading to/from a trunk road from/to a trunk road or lower class highway. |
'primary' | The next most important roads in a country's system. (Often link larger towns.) |
'primary_link' | The link roads (sliproads/ramps) leading to/from a primary road from/to a primary road or lower class highway. |
'secondary' | The next most important roads in a country's system. (Often link towns.) |
'secondary_link' | The link roads (sliproads/ramps) leading to/from a secondary road from/to a secondary road or lower class highway. |
'tertiary_link' | The link roads (sliproads/ramps) leading to/from a tertiary road from/to a tertiary road or lower class highway. |
'tertiary' | The next most important roads in a country's system. (Often link smaller towns and villages) |
'unclassified' | The least most important through roads in a country's system – i.e. minor roads of a lower classification than tertiary, but which serve a purpose other than access to properties. Often link villages and hamlets. |
'road' | A road/way/street/motorway/etc. of unknown type. It can stand for anything ranging from a footpath to a motorway. This tag should only be used temporarily until the road/way/etc. has been properly surveyed. |
'raceway' | A course or track for (motor) racing |
'residential' | Roads which serve as an access to housing, without function of connecting settlements. Often lined with housing. |
'service' | For access roads to, or within an industrial estate, camp site, business park, car park etc. |
'cycleway' | For designated cycleways. |
'living_street' | For living streets, which are residential streets where pedestrians have legal priority over cars, speeds are kept very low and where children are allowed to play on the street. |
'pedestrian' | For roads used mainly/exclusively for pedestrians in shopping and some residential areas which may allow access by motorised vehicles only for very limited periods of the day. |
'mini_roundabout' | Similar to roundabouts, but at the center there is either a painted circle or a fully traversable island. |
'motorway_junction' | Indicates a junction (UK) or exit (US). |
'give_way' | A “give way,” or “Yield” sign |
'emergency_access_point' | Sign number which can be used to define your current position in case of an emergency. |
'crossing' | A.k.a. crosswalk. Pedestrians can cross a street here; e.g., zebra crossing |
'bus_stop' | A small bus stop. |
'bus_guideway' | A busway where the vehicle guided by the way (though not a railway) and is not suitable for other traffic. |
'elevator' | Elevator |
'construction' | For roads under construction. |
'escape' | For runaway truck ramps, runaway truck lanes, emergency escape ramps, or truck arrester beds. It enables vehicles with braking failure to safely stop. |
'track' | Roads for mostly agricultural or forestry uses. |
'footway' | For designated footpaths; i.e., mainly/exclusively for pedestrians. This includes walking tracks and gravel paths. |
'bridleway' | For horses. |
'steps' | For flights of steps (stairs) on footways. |
'path' | A non-specific path. |
'passing_place' | The location of a passing space |
'rest_area' | Place where drivers can leave the road to rest, but not refuel. |
'speed_camera' | A fixed road-side or overhead speed camera. |
'street_lamp' | A street light, lamppost, street lamp, light standard, or lamp standard is a raised source of light on the edge of a road, which is turned on or lit at a certain time every night |
'services' | A service station to get food and eat something, often found at motorways |
'stop' | A stop sign |
'traffic_signals' | Lights that control the traffic |
'turning_circle' | A turning circle is a rounded, widened area usually, but not necessarily, at the end of a road to facilitate easier turning of a vehicle. Also known as a cul de sac. |
'User Defined' | All commonly used values according to Taginfo |
ref
ref stands for “reference” and is used for reference number or codes for the roads.
z_order
z_orderis used to describe vertical relationships between crossing or overlapping elements, e.g. a bridge over a street.
layer
layer:the values range from '-5' to '5' . It is usually related to tunnel and bridge.
level
level Indicates the floor level, can be used for roads that are tied to a floor levelof a multilevel building.
indoor
indoor indicates if the roads are being inside a room, a building or a shelter.
