==== Zoom Level Applied: 4~19 ====
The road(highway) is directly derived from the OSM highway hierarchy. It's the most complicated ones in Map Suite World Streets. The type of road is column "class".Some road has a column called 'oneway', which is used to access restriction on the roads as appropriate(when the way can only be used in one direction).
Some road examples: motorway, secondary, track, motorway_link, cycleway, etc. See more examples below.

===== Columns =====

==== class ====
The main field used for styling is ''class''.
the class attribute is the value of the OSM road "highway" tag's value, which helps indicate any kind of road, streets or path.
