La chiave highway è quella principale per etichettare le strade. È una chiave molto generale utilizzata per fornire una descrizione, a volte vaga, dell'importanza della strada nella rete stradale.

Benché non sia specifica come altre chiavi è molto utile perché fornisce a prima vista informazioni su una sezione di una strada, ciò permette una sua utile rappresentazione prima ancora che vengano raccolti e inseriti altri dati. Il valore di altre chiavi può persino essere desunto sulla base del valore assegnato alla strada in combinazione con altre informazioni o con la sua localizzazione.

Nella descrizione sono usate definizioni giuridiche (numero della strada, ecc...) e alcuni valori sono essi stessi delle attribuzioni giuridiche (trunk e motorway), vi è però consenso sul fatto che la chiave highway vada usata per fare una descrizione generale dell'importanza della strada nella rete stradale. Questo fornisce all'utilizzatore informazioni più utili che non una classificazione giuridica o delle caratteristiche fisiche, che dipendono molto dalla zona.

Per descrivere più nel dettaglio una strada è fortemente raccomandato aggiungere attributi fisici e giuridici come lanes=*, surface=*, maxspeed=*, maxheight=* e width=*. Questi sono importanti poiché si presume che chi usa una strada voglia conoscere la sua struttura fisica e le restrizioni legali. Ad esempio c'è differenza tra una strada con una corsia ed una che ne ha quattro. Questa informazione può persino essere usata da alcune applicazioni di instradamento per stimare il tempo di percorrenza.

NOTE: Le linee guida per la classificazione nazionale delle strade (sotto) cercano di chiarire l'applicazione dei principi su esposti nei vari paesi, dove in alcuni casi sono basate anche su caratteristiche fisiche e giuridiche.

La chiave highway e le norme di accesso.

Mentre alcuni valori della chiave highway, come cycleway e bridleway, implicano un particolare tipo di traffico, con gli altri andrebbe indicato quali mezzi possono percorrere la strada. Vedi access=* per ulteriori informazioni.

Reti e sistemi di percorsi stradali.

Il valore della chiave highway dovrebbe essere applicato senza tenere conto dell'appartenenza a reti e sistemi di percorsi stradali. In molti paesi un certo tratto di strada può far parte di più percorsi e un particolare percorso può essere formato da tratti con caratteristiche differenti e di conseguenza valori di highway diversi. Fate riferimento alle guide specifiche per i vari paesi su come etichettare i percorsi e le reti stradali.

Highway (strade e vie)

Il tag highway è l'etichetta principale (e spesso l'unica) utilizzata per descrivere le strade. Il valore del tag highway è assegnato in base all'importanza e alle caratteristiche della strada e NON in base alla classificazione amministrativa (SS, SR, SP, ecc) o all'ente che si occupa della manutenzione (ANAS, Province, Comuni, ecc)

Esistono convenzioni per il suo utilizzo nei vari paesi, descritte nelle pagine Highway tag usage e Road.

Strade (roads).

Questi sono i valori principali per la rete stradale. Sono elencati in ordine di importanza decrescente.

highway motorway Autostrade a pagamento o gratuite, compresi i raccordi autostradali come le tangenziali di Milano e il Grande Raccordo Anulare di Roma. Equivalente alle Freeway, Autobahn, ecc...
highway trunk Strade che si pongono a metà strada tra Autostrade/Tangenziali e le Statali. Può anche essere classificato così il tratto di svincolo di un'autostrada-tangenziale che porta al centro città. Per segnalare l'esistenza di restrizioni di accesso simili a quelle in vigore per le autostrade, usare motorroad=yes. Le cosiddette superstrade potrebbero essere marcate come due corsie denotate da highway=trunk per distinguerle dalle autostrade.

Le strade extraurbane ad una sola corsia per senso di marcia, che però non presentano incroci sul loro percorso e abbiano accessi ed uscite mediati da corsie di ac/de-celerazione potrebbero essere marcati da highway=trunk, per distinguerle da altre strade che potrebbero presentare incroci e rotonde.
highway primary Strade di importanza nazionale e regionale che non godono della classificazione di autostrada, tangenziale o superstrada. Collegano tra loro le città principali. Normalmente sono classificate come SS (Strade Statali) o SR (Strade Regionali), tuttavia esistono eccezioni come per esempio in piccoli centri montani dove la strada SS attraversa il paese ma la strada primaria è una tangenziale di moderna costruzione che evita il centro abitato.

In ambito urbano normalmente formano il primo anello della città (vedi Milano) e normalmente sono classificate come Viali.
highway secondary Strade di importanza regionale e provinciale. Collegano tra loro i principali comuni di una regione. Sono normalmente classificate come SP (Strade provinciali) ma esistono eccezioni.

In ambito urbano normalmente sono classificate come vie importanti anche a due corsie per senso di marcia.
highway tertiary Strade di importanza locale o comunale. Collegano tra loro i comuni più piccoli. In ambito urbano sono le strade laterali a primarie e secondarie con un discreto flusso di traffico.
highway unclassified Classificazione per il livello minimo della rete stradale extraurbana. In ambito urbano sono utilizzate per raggiungere destinazioni nelle immediate vicinanze e il flusso del traffico è relativamente più basso che in strade di classificazione superiore. Spesso collegano villaggi e borghi. (Non si tratta di strade la cui classificazione è ignota, per le quali si usa highway=road).
highway residential Strade situate in zone residenziali per l'accesso alle abitazioni, senza funzione di collegamento tra diversi insediamenti. Sono spesso fiancheggiate da case.
highway motorway_link Tratti di collegamento (svincoli/rampe) tra un'autostrada ed un'altra autostrada o altra strada di classificazione inferiore. Solitamente i limiti sono analoghi a quelli autostradali.
highway trunk_link Tratti di collegamento (svincoli/rampe) tra un trunk ed un altro trunk o altra strada di classificazione inferiore. Per segnalare l'esistenza di restrizioni di accesso simili a quelle in vigore per le autostrade, usare motorroad=yes.
highway primary_link Tratti di collegamento (svincoli/rampe) tra una strada di importanza nazionale (primary) ed un'altra strada di importanza nazionale o altra strada di classificazione inferiore.
highway secondary_link Tratti di collegamento (svincoli/rampe) tra una strada di importanza regionale/provinciale (secondary) ed un'altra strada di importanza regionale/provinciale o altra strada di classificazione inferiore.
highway tertiary_link Tratti di collegamento (svincoli/rampe) tra una strada di classificazione tertiary ed un'altra strada di classificazione tertiary od inferiore.

Strade di tipo particolare (special road types).

highway living_street Strade a prevalente uso pedonale dove il limite di velocità è particolarmente basso, i pedoni hanno la precedenza sugli automezzi ed è facile che bambini giochino per strada (poco frequenti in Italia, comunque indicate da apposito segnale di zona residenziale ).
highway service Strade di accesso o interne ad aree di servizio, spiagge, campeggi, complessi industriali, centri commerciali, residenze, posteggi, discariche, installazioni, ecc. Usare service=* per specificare il tipo d'uso, e access=* per specificare chi e in quali circostanze le può usare.
highway pedestrian Aree pedonali (strade o piazze in aree urbane), accessibili principalmente o esclusivamente ai pedoni.
highway track Carreggiabili ad uso prevalentemente agricolo o forestale, spesso sconnesse e non pavimentate. Usare tracktype=* per meglio descriverne l'aspetto.
highway bus_guideway Un percorso per autobus guidato da "binari", non accessibile dal resto del traffico stradale. N.B. Questo non è un normale percorso di autobus (usare piuttosto access=no, psv=yes)
highway escape Da usare per le rampe poste ai lati della carreggiata riservate ai mezzi pesanti usate come corsie di fuga, rampe di emergenza o letti di arresto con ghiaia. Consente ai veicoli con avarie di frenata di fermarsi in sicurezza.
highway raceway Pista o circuito per corse (solo con veicoli a motore).
highway road Strade la cui classificazione non è nota. Va utilizzato come tag temporaneo per le strade di cui non si conosce la classificazione, per poi essere sostituito con quello più appropriato non appena possibile.
highway busway A dedicated roadway for bus rapid transit systems

Vie e percorsi non carreggiabili (paths).

highway footway Percorsi costruiti appositamente per i pedoni: passaggi pedonali urbani, percorsi nei parchi pubblici, anche sentieri se fortemente mantenuti e non allo stato naturale. Aggiungere anche il tag surface=*, quando possibile. Usare highway=pedestrian per le strade pedonali nelle zone dello shopping, highway=track per percorsi praticati da veicoli agricoli o similari.
highway bridleway Percorsi per equitazione (solitamente percorsi pedonali accessibili anche a cavallo).
highway steps Rampe di scale, accessibili esclusivamente ai pedoni.
highway corridor For a hallway inside of a building.
highway path Sentieri non pensati per un uso specifico. Aggiungere eventualmente anche i tag per il trekking (difficoltà, visibilità sentiero), per la MTB (mtb:scale=*) e le caratteristiche del fondo (surface=*). Probabilmente è meglio usare highway=footway per vialetti destinati prevalentemente ai pedoni, highway=cycleway per quelli usabili da pedoni e anche dai ciclisti, highway=bridleway per quelli usabili da pedoni e anche cavalli, e highway=track per quelli praticabili con veicoli agricoli o similari.
highway via_ferrata A via ferrata is a route equipped with fixed cables, stemples, ladders, and bridges in order to increase ease and security for climbers. These via ferrata require equipment : climbing harness, shock absorber and two short lengths of rope, but do not require a long rope as for climbing. not rendered in OSM-Carto

When sidewalk/crosswalk is tagged as a separate way

footway sidewalk Sidewalk that runs typically along residential road. Use in combination with highway=footway or highway=path
footway crossing Attraversamento pedonale.

Marciapiedi o corsia pedonale, la cui presenza è annotata sulla strada principale (vedi Sidewalks)

sidewalk both | left | right | no Specifies that the highways has sidewalks on both sides, on one side or no sidewalk at all

Ciclovia in sede propria (vedi Bicycle)

highway cycleway Piste ciclabili su carreggiata dedicata, prevalentemente od esclusivamente ad uso cicloturistico.

La presenza di corsie ciclabili su strade ad uso condiviso va invece segnalata aggiungendo un tag cycleway=* appropriato al tag highway=* che descrive la strada su cui giacciono.

Ciclovia disegnata sulla sede stradale o su di una corsia (vedi Bicycle)

cycleway lane Una corsia ciclabile è un percorso che si trova all'interno della carreggiata.
cycleway opposite Utilizzato nei percorsi con oneway=yes dove è consentito legalmente pedalare in entrambe le direzioni. Usato insieme a oneway:bicycle=no.
cycleway opposite_lane Usato su strade a oneway=yes che hanno una corsia ciclabile che va nella direzione opposta rispetto al normale flusso del traffico (una corsia "controcorrente"). Usato insieme con oneway:bicycle=no.
cycleway track Una percorso che è separato dal traffico. Negli Stati Uniti, questo termine è spesso usato per riferirsi a piste ciclabili che sono separate dalle corsie per le auto da respingenti, dissuasori, corsie di parcheggio e cordoli. Si noti che una pista ciclabile, può in alternativa, essere disegnata come un percorso separato vicino alla strada contrassegnato come highway=cycleway.
cycleway opposite_track Usato su percorsi con oneway=yes che hanno una pista ciclabile che va nella direzione opposta al normale flusso del traffico. Usato insieme con oneway:bicycle=no.
cycleway share_busway Corsia preferenziale degli autobus che i ciclisti possono usare.
cycleway opposite_share_busway Utilizzato nelle strade con oneway=yes che hanno una corsia preferenziale degli autobus che i ciclisti possono utilizzare e che vanno nella direzione opposta al flusso di traffico normale (una corsia di bus "controcorrente"). Usato insieme a oneway:bicycle=no.
cycleway shared_lane I ciclisti condividono una corsia con i veicoli a motore, ma ci sono dei contrassegni che indicano che devono condividere la corsia con gli automobilisti.
busway lane Corsia degli autobus su entrambi i lati della strada.

Street parking tagged on the main roadway (see Street parking)

parking :left / :right / :both

Esempi

In Islanda la strada principale del paese è principalmente una strada asfaltata a due corsie, ma in alcuni tratti è ancora non asfaltata a una corsia e mezzo. Nonostante ciò rimane comunque "primary" e le parti non asfaltate sono etichettate di conseguenza.

Equivalenze internazionali

Qui sotto trovate una tabella comparativa di come le strade siano etichettate nei vari paesi. Gli utenti dovrebbero consultare le guide specifiche dei vari paesi per avere più dettagli. Vedere Category:Projects per i progetti specifici dei vari paesi e Tagging per una lista delle guide.

Roads are ranked by the highest level that meets one of the following criteria ->		 Paved road, with opposite separated carriageways, WITHOUT level crossings and at least 10 km long. 1 - Rural dual carriage paved road WITH level crossings and at least 10 km long

2 - The best paved road route connecting 2 urban centers with more than 200,000 inhabitants
3 - Paved urban road connecting trunk or motorway with each other
4 - Main urban structural road, in cities with more than 200 thousand inhabitants

 1 - Paved road that is the best route from a urban centers with more than 20 thousand inhabitants to a larger urban center

2 - Paved urban road connecting primary roads with each other or with higher-level roads
3 - Urban structural road, in cities with more than 20 thousand inhabitants that crosses the city (generally this is the road that also fits on item 1)

 1 - Road that is the best route from urban centers with more than 2 thousand inhabitants* to larger urban centers*. * also include all municipal seat smaller than 2 thousand inhabitants

2 - Urban road connecting secondary roads with each other or with higher-level roads

Brunei Controlled-access highway: Single or dual (or more) carriageway roads with no private accesses, no at-grade intersections that crosses the median (including direct U-turns), no signalised intersections and no roundabouts. This criterion excludes any intersection at the two ends of the route. In the case of a single carriageway it must be a one-way expressway at all points in time, contain at least one reversible lane, or have exactly one lane in each direction with overtaking using the lane on the opposing direction prohibited. A limited number of roads with "highway" (English) or "lebuhraya" (Malay) in their names (i.e. those that meet the above criteria) fall under this category. Limited-access road: Single or dual (or more) carriageway roads that are similar to the criteria of a motorway, but permits for a variety of intersections, including private accesses, all at-grade and signalised intersections, and roundabbouts, and a flexible number of lanes on a single carriageway, but vehicles can only drive across the lanes in the opposite directions at designated points on the road (such as gaps in the median, if any). Most roads with "highway" (English) or "lebuhraya" (Malay) in their names fall under this category. Important, high-traffic roads connecting between towns and/or residential areas may also fall under this category. The speed limit ranges from 65 km/h on urban roads with a lot of private accesses to 100 km/h on inter-district roads with less dense traffic. Frequently used roads within cities, towns and shopping districts, and roads connecting urban areas or urban to rural/residential areas. Usually has a speed limit between 50 km/h and 80 km/h. Roads that are less frequently used. Roads connecting two or more rural areas without passing through an urban area fit into this category. Less significant roads and collector roads. Roads that do not fit in any categories listed here nor other categories. Most "simpangs" fall under the "residential" category.

Rural: Primary road with 110 km/h or higher effective speed, with <10 km sections of 100 km/h or higher effective speed. No non-prioritized or timer-only traffic signals. At most 2 traffic signals between towns. No four-way at-grade intersections with other trunk roads. Urban: Primary road that continues as a trunk road or motorway in two directions if there are no junctions with primary (or higher) roads or at least one direction if there are. In undeveloped areas (Labrador, the three Territories, northern Ontario and Québec): Classifications are moved up so that the most important roads in the area are marked primary even if they do not meet the usual criteria.

Rural: Paved. 95 km/h or higher effective speed. Painted centre and side lines. Lanes at least 3.5 m wide. Urban: Paved. At least 4 lanes. Carries markedly more traffic than secondary roads. Continues out of urban areas.

 Rural: Paved. 85 km/h or higher effective speed. Painted centre line. Lanes at least 3 m wide.

Urban: Paved. At least 3 lanes. Not designed to calm traffic. Usually arranged in a grid.

 Rural: Need not be paved. 2 lanes, each at least 3 m wide.

Urban: Paved. At least 2 lanes. Through route, though usually designed with minor traffic-calming features. Usually intersects with many residential roads.

 All non-residential roads not meeting any of the above criteria.
Chile Autopistas Concesionadas (Con peajes automáticos o manuales)
Autopistas con división central y dos o más pistas por sentido de circulación. Generalmente con velocidades máximas de 120 km/h (esto puede variar en Autopistas Urbanas).

Colombia
Voce principale: Colombia/Guide_for_mapping#Street_classifications
 No roads in Colombia qualify as motorways (2017) Rural: Troncales: trunk roads as defined by the Ministry of Transport and Invias.

Urban: Highways that have at least two lanes in each direction and traverse the entire city.

 Rural: Carreteras nacionales: roads belonging to the national road network (red primaria) as defined by the Ministry of Transport and Invias. Usually connect large cities, capitals of Departments, international borders or large ports. Note that not all roads belonging to the national road system are automatically primary roads; some belong to the secondary network. The official classification should be used.

Urban: Main roads interconnecting neighborhoods crossing the city.

 Rural:Carreteras intermunicipales: roads belonging to the secondary road network (red secundaria) as defined by the Ministry of Transport and Invias. Usually roads connecting towns (i.e. settlements larger than villages). Note that there are some primary roads which are operated by the respective Department; that information should be captured in the operator=* tag and does not make the road secondary unless classified as such officially.

Urban: Streets that traverse neighborhoods.

 Rural:Carreteras intraveredales: roads belonging to the tertiary road network (red terciaria) as defined by the Ministry of Transport and Invias. Usually roads connecting administrative centers (cabeceras) which are smaller than towns (e.g. villages).

Urban: The minor streets through neighborhoods.

 Not used in Colombia. For residential roads use highway=residential. For unknown roads use highway=road. For pedestrian roads use highway=pedestrian.

motorroad=yes se utiliza para las Vías para automóviles, antiguamente conocidas como Vías rápidas: carreteras con limitación de acceso y que no son cortadas a nivel por ninguna otra vía. Pueden ser de doble sentido o tener calzadas separadas para cada sentido de la marcha, pero la condición esencial es la ausencia de cruces a nivel. Se usa el criterio de arriba para determinar el valor de highway=*, y se añade motorroad=yes. Nota: cualquier carretera que cumpla las condiciones se admite, aunque no tenga las señales indicadas.

motorroad=yes is used for Vías para automóviles, previously known as Expressways: roads with restricted access and no level crossings at all. They might have as few as a single lane per direction in a single carriageway, but the essential condition is the lack of level crossings. Use the above classification to determine the highway=* value and add motorroad=yes. Nota: the signs themselves are not a requirement, any road matching the description for a significative length qualifies.

United States highway classifications are being debated in the US mapping community, and this table may not reflect current practices. See the older U.S. roads tagging and the emerging 2021 U.S. Highway Classification which has been adopted by mappers in several states. Unilateral changes to highway classifications, especially trunk and motorway, should not be made without community discussion. Limited access freeway with interchanges. Limited access highway with occasional grade level intersections (use of the tag in the East), or major intercity highway where no motorway exists (use of the tag in the West). Primary highway or arterial road. All U.S. highways in the East should be this tag.
(primary non-motorway routes between cities and primary arterial roads)		 Secondary highway or arterial road
(secondary routes between cities and secondary arterial roads)		 Tertiary route, major street or collector road
(tertiary routes between towns and collector roads)		 Other roads used for local traffic.
Use highway=residential for local roads with residences. Use highway=service for roads that do not carry traffic.

 Only some freeways (called "Autopista"): Dual carriageway highways divided by a physical divider with 2 or more lanes in each direction, directly connected to national roads, strictly limited access by ramps that allow speed reduction outside the main carriageway. Must not have same-level crossroads, traffic lights, roundabouts, or u-turn ramps that merge on the left-lane (usually called "Retorno").[1]

There should be no streets or roads that connect directly to the highway if it is not through a well-defined ramp. There should also be no buildings or properties adjacent to the highway or any of its access ramps.

Legally 90 km/h speed limit.[1]

 National roads network that cross the entire country connecting the most important cities. Regional roads network that connect the most important cities and towns of each State. Main roads or streets that move a highly amount of population, which is obliged to pass through it to connect with others higher-priority roads. Main roads or streets that move a moderate amount of population, which is obliged to pass through it to connect with others higher-priority roads. Generic roads in non-urban areas.
Vietnam Đường cao tốc

Đường hai chiều chỉ dành cho các loại xe cơ giới, cấm xe thô sơ và người đi bộ. Tốc độ cho phép thường từ 40-80km/h. Giới hạn tốc độ được áp dụng riêng biệt cho mỗi loại xe trong từng làn đường. Mỗi chiều thường có 1-5 làn dành cho các loại ô tô và một làn riêng dành cho xe mô tô.

Expressways (đường cao tốc)

 Đường lớn, mật độ giao thông cao, có nhiều điểm chung với đường cao tốc nhưng chưa phải là đường cao tốc. Những loại đường này thường tương đối hiện đại. Có thể chỉ cho phép ô tô lưu thông.

High-quality National Highways that are not expressways. Usually divided and with partial grade separation.

 Đường trọng điểm có mật độ giao thông lớn, đóng vai trò chính trong việc đi lại giữa nhiều khu vực. Bao gồm cả quốc lộ. Đường liên xã cũng có thể tính vào loại này ở các khu vực rất hẻo lánh.

National Highways (quốc lộ/QL).

 Đường có thể có mật độ giao thông vừa đến lớn, cũng dùng để đi lại giữa các khu vực. Cũng bao gồm tỉnh lộ. Đường này thường dùng để giảm số lượng xe lưu thông qua các tuyến trọng điểm, có thể giúp người tham gia giao thông đi đến khu vực cần đến nhanh hơn.

Provincial highways (tỉnh lộ/TL).

 Đường dân sinh, có mật độ giao thông nhỏ đến vừa, giúp đi lại giữa các khu dân cư và có thể nối một số đường giao thông lớn hơn.

Low-traffic roads that connect residential areas or villages with the provincial and national networks.

 Ngõ rộng có mật độ giao thông nhỏ hoặc các tuyến đường nhỏ trong khu dân cư không được đặt tên. Những đường này có chiều rộng chỉ đủ cho một ô tô lưu thông và những xe nhỏ hơn có thể vượt lên khỏi ô tô đó.

Minor roads, usually narrow.
