In fact, the roads near Coanwood were previously changed to highway=tertiary (changeset/100556040) and then those changes were reverted as invalid (changeset/100556298).

Hi, I’d really like to know what basis you’re changing these road classifications on, as it doesn’t seem to align with the consensus on the wiki.

osm.wiki/Roads_in_the_United_Kingdom
highway=unclassified
highway=tertiary

Spot-checking some of the changes here:
- way/108118886 is a back road between Nenthall and Nenthead and has passing places. The main road (A689) connects the two places more directly.
- way/154856542 is more likely a residential street (it has houses and a school)
- The road from Slaggyford through Ayle goes over a single track bridge and is signed ‘Light traffic only’

None of those fit in with the guidance on the wiki.

What problem are you trying to solve, and what guidelines are you using for choosing road classification? If you’re trying to solve a specific problem then please give details and perhaps there’s some alternative tagging which needs adding to fix it, which fits with the general tagging consensus.

As it stands, these changes seem incorrect to me, and if you continue to not reply then I’ll need to escalate this. Problem solving comes from discussing problems :)

Please can you reply before making further changes to road classification across the country.
