I have a road which has for some kilometers the same name, but different quality. Is it correct to map it as multiple connected highways of different class, which simply all carry the same name=* tag? |

I wouldn't assume a highway should be classified as different road types just because of different states of maintenance or surface quality. Own experience: Two years ago I travelled a highway whose surface was partly new asphalt, partly crumbled asphalt, partly fine gravel, partly pebblestone.
All the way I tagged it highway=primary - since it was/is one. :) 1
Definitely yes, the highway should be classified by its importance/use. Use the surface or track type tags to indicate what the condition is like. There is an current discussion on this on the tagging email list if you are interested. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2014-January/thread.html

Thanks for the answers! My question aimed at highways with parts of different classes, however the class is determined. I'm a beginner and before I will start editing, I will carefully check how to classify highways. So I will take care of your hints regarding this. Best wishes.

Yes, but be smart and add all tags to the stretch and divide it afterwards to ad the classes. Less work and good results. |
