'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

ref

ref stands for “reference” and is used for reference number or codes for the roads.

z_order

layer

indoor

indoor indicates if the roads are being inside a room, a building or a shelter.
