Hello, 

Thanks for responding. A local street or any street is classed as a highway. Please see here:- https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway   The page explains that everything from a motorway to an unpaved path is a highway.

Anyway my point was to inform you of the problems with duplicating highways. Also OSM's best practice of correcting existing features instead of mapping over them.

If you need any help or further clarification please just ask.

Regards Bernard.
