Instead of being stubborn can you give an example of where the classification of highways have changed because of borders have been closed? The Russ-Ukranian highway classifications haven't changed, neither any border highways in Afghanistan, or Iran-Turkey border highways.

If you attempt to revert the Kartarpur road, or the Burki road highway classification through big edits. I will escalate this, next time.

No it doesn't. You've made this up, you've been given examples of this before as well. This also shows you understand it's a highway, but your only reasoning is political.

That is against OSM's on the ground rule.

It has been explained to you know several occasions that the visa policies between two nations has no relation to the classification of highways.

Please stop changing highways which connect borders to service roads. They are not service roads. Service roads are something comepletely different. This has been the norm across OpenStreetMap.

Yet the highway that links the Kartarpur corridor serves as a link between Narowal - a city and Dera Baba Nanak, a town. The corridor doesn't even directly connect the Gurudwara in Dera Baba Nanak, it connects it to the highway on the Indian side.

So the road that links Narowal and Dera Baba Nank isn't a highway? The road that's called "Guru Nanak Highway" is merely a service road? By the way, It's connected to Narowal Road, which is a Primary road. This definitely deserves to be categorised as a secondary road.

Hi, I have undone your changes. The condition of the track is poor, however it is still a major (Grand Truck) road. Any road that has a reference of N-* is usually a Grand Trunk Road.

I mean worst comes to the worst, keep it as a locality, but there was no need for a block here.

I did expect better from a former member of the OSM board, than to stoop to the level of potential doxxing, whether related or not, and then blocking me as well.

I'm here to discuss, what is it that you require? Because all sources point to it being a town, hence my edit of changing the node to a town.

I also don't see yourself to be a Pakistani that you might have on-the-ground knowledge for you to be able to firmly say I'm wrong?

171988832

This is not a place for opinions, and from what can be seen on the Wikipedia article, the sources say it is a border *town*.

Again when you accuse people of lying or decieving, you are doing nothing to solve the issue, but make it worse.

I have asked you to come to PM, you have not messaged. This is a town. Youc an argue about its classification but you are being obnoxious by name calling and just evidently not trying to understand the underlying issue.

171855820

Also it has a Wikidata tag, so you cannot remove the node because it affects Wikimedia sites as well.

171855820

Alternatively, I will bring in a mediator to solve this. But, the current edits remain, because it adds information whereas you are attempting to remove them.

171855820

What will certainly not happen is you attempting to call other users dishonest, and think that you can bully your way through it.

171855820

You can either send me a PM about this, or we keep having this exchange, and I will continue to restore my edits. You have no basis. You are basing this on your own opinions, not on Ground sources which is what OSM is built up.

Makkah is known for Masjid al-Haram.

Makkah IS a city.

In that same way, this is a highway that links two major towns – Kartarpur and Dera Baba Nanak.

You should bear this in mind that Guru Nanak Highway links to a Primary road on one side, and it links to a G.T Road on the other. The road that links the other two cannot be a "service road".

171256012

Yes, I understand that the road was built recently, but it was not built as a service road, but as a highway. They built this highway with the possibility that there might be two-way traffic.

If you look at the original models of the complex, there were supposed to be two border terminals, and pilgrims from India have a seperate car parks so that they can drive all way to the Kartarpur Corridor.

The highway has been built. The road access doesn't affect the road classification. That is the ground situation. Tomorrow they could state that it is a fully-fledged border crossing, but it would still be the same highway. The road didn't change.

You don't change the roads, just because of politics, because politics changes all the time.

You stated the news about the Ukraine-Russian borders, yet what you fail to realise is that the highways are still classified as highways.

I can somewhat understand that other Indo-Pak crossings should typically have their access set to no, but on this particular crossing, I do think there should be full access. However, the road classifications shouldn't just change due to geopolitics.
