The highway key marks roads, tracks, and paths — the route network. The value gives the way's classification, which the renderers use to decide how prominently to draw it and at what zoom it appears.
How to tag
Draw a way along the centre-line of the route and tag it highway=*. The value reflects the road's place in the network — its importance and connectivity — not its surface or condition, which are recorded separately.
Values
| Value | Used for |
|---|---|
motorway |
The highest-capacity, longest-distance routes. |
primary |
Major through-roads linking large settlements. |
residential |
Access roads within a settlement. |
track |
Minor, usually unpaved ways outside settlements. |
