Hello MACEDONICUS, I noticed that you have changed the classification of many highways in the city of Skopje from primary/secondary down to tertiary. I see from your changeset comment that you believe these should be tertiary since they are lacking ‘A’ or ‘R’ status.

I believe that these should be changed back to their previous classifications based on a couple of things. First, the Macedonia roads tagging page on the OSM Wiki (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Macedonia/Macedonian_roads_tagging) says that the proposed classification system that is based on the highway’s legal category (i.e. A-roads and R-roads) is to only be used "out of settlements” and with "taking into account their importance”. Which, from my understanding, would mean this system only loosely applies to rural roads and not for cities like Skopje. This page also mentions (and links to) the OSM Wiki’s highway=* page (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway#Assumptions), stating highways that are not motorways or express roads should be classified only by their importance and intended main use.

How would you feel about changing these highways back to their previous classifications, so we can retain an accurate highway hierarchy (based on importance) within Skopje? Looking forward to hearing from you!
