Hello AlkalIn,

I am following up on my last message (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/138060459) to you concerning your highway classification changes. I would like to know what criteria you are using in order to change these highways to trunk, and am curious if these changes were discussed with other members of the Africa mapping community.

I see that you have also made these classification changes in Rwanda and Burundi since my last message. Reviewing the East Africa Tagging Guidelines page on the OSM Wiki (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/East_Africa_Tagging_Guidelines), I see that trunk highways in these countries should be paved and should have multiple lanes in a similar layout to a motorway. It would appear that many of your trunk upgrades do not match this definition. For example, you changed https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/374782511 from primary to trunk even though it is unpaved and does not have multiple lanes. Would you mind explaining why highways like this were upgraded to trunk?

I look forward to hearing from you to discuss these edits.
