On UK maps, only OSM "Trunk Roads" should have yellow-on-green road markers

[GCarty80]

Currently the route numbers of all A roads in the UK are displayed using yellow-on-green road markers, while those of B roads are displayed using black-on-white road markers.

This is not correct as not all A roads are classified as primary routes (which use the yellow-on-green markers in UK signage). I suspect the issue has arisen because normal UK parlance for road classification does not match up with OpenStreetMap's system.

Primary A-roads in the UK are almost invariably classified as "Trunk Roads" in OSM, and thus only OSM Trunk Roads should have the yellow-on-green markers -- OSM "Primary Roads" in the UK are actually non-primary A roads and should have black-on-white road markers like those used for OSM "Secondary Roads" (UK B roads).

(Now an Issue - see #1244)

Thanks! Do other OSM-based navigators display markers correctly?

[GCarty80]

I wouldn't know, as the only one I used before adopting Organic Maps was its predecessor MAPS.ME.

Please create an issue with a more generic name, and provide some screenshots with examples. The idea is to motivate users from other countries to report issues with their road signs too.

How do I include screenshots on messages in this forum?

[biodranik]

Drag them into the text edit box, or use the "attach image" button from a mobile device.

As far as other countries are concerned, perhaps it would be nice if the Germans could have their "blue crushed hexagon inside white rectangle" autobahn marker, and the similar marker in red instead of blue for the Swiss?

OK, I've now created an issue at #1244

Incidentally, is this kind of info ("which route markers to use with each class of roads in a given country") something that's stored within the Organic Maps app code itself, or is it stored within the sets of map data that we download into the app?

@vng should know

Can't say for sure now. Will investigate this issue later ..
