highway | trunk | The most important roads in a country's system that aren't motorways. (Need not necessarily be a divided highway.) | ||||
highway | primary | The next most important roads in a country's system. (Often link larger towns.) | ||||
highway | secondary | The next most important roads in a country's system. (Often link towns.) | ||||
highway | tertiary | The next most important roads in a country's system. (Often link smaller towns and villages) | ||||
highway | unclassified | The least important through roads in a country's system – i.e. minor roads of a lower classification than tertiary, but which serve a purpose other than access to properties. (Often link villages and hamlets.)
The word 'unclassified' is a historical artefact of the UK road system and does not mean that the classification is unknown; you can use highway=road for that. |
||||
highway | residential | Roads which serve as an access to housing, without function of connecting settlements. Often lined with housing. | ||||
Link roads | ||||||
highway | motorway_link | The link roads (sliproads/ramps) leading to/from a motorway from/to a motorway or lower class highway. Normally with the same motorway restrictions. | ||||
highway | trunk_link | The link roads (sliproads/ramps) leading to/from a trunk road from/to a trunk road or lower class highway. | ||||
highway | primary_link | The link roads (sliproads/ramps) leading to/from a primary road from/to a primary road or lower class highway. | ||||
highway | secondary_link | The link roads (sliproads/ramps) leading to/from a secondary road from/to a secondary road or lower class highway. | ||||
highway | tertiary_link | The link roads (sliproads/ramps) leading to/from a tertiary road from/to a tertiary road or lower class highway. | ||||
Special road types | ||||||
highway | living_street | For living streets, which are residential streets where pedestrians have legal priority over cars, speeds are kept very low. | ||||
highway | service | For access roads to, or within an industrial estate, camp site, business park, car park, alleys, etc. Can be used in conjunction with service=* to indicate the type of usage and with access=* to indicate who can use it and in what circumstances. | ||||
highway | pedestrian | For roads used mainly/exclusively for pedestrians in shopping and some residential areas which may allow access by motorised vehicles only for very limited periods of the day. To create a 'square' or 'plaza' create a closed way and tag as pedestrian and also with area=yes. | ||||
highway | track | Roads for mostly agricultural or forestry uses. To describe the quality of a track, see tracktype=*. Note: Although tracks are often rough with unpaved surfaces, this tag is not describing the quality of a road but its use. Consequently, if you want to tag a general use road, use one of the general highway values instead of track. | ||||
highway | bus_guideway | A busway where the vehicle guided by the way (though not a railway) and is not suitable for other traffic. Please note: this is not a normal bus lane, use access=no, psv=yes instead! | ||||
highway | escape | For runaway truck ramps, runaway truck lanes, emergency escape ramps, or truck arrester beds. It enables vehicles with braking failure to safely stop. | ||||
highway | raceway | A course or track for (motor) racing | ||||
highway | road | A road/way/street/motorway/etc. of unknown type. It can stand for anything ranging from a footpath to a motorway. This tag should only be used temporarily until the road/way/etc. has been properly surveyed. If you do know the road type, do not use this value, instead use one of the more specific highway=* values. | ||||
highway | busway | A dedicated roadway for bus rapid transit systems | ||||
Paths | ||||||
highway | footway | For designated footpaths; i.e., mainly/exclusively for pedestrians. This includes walking tracks and gravel paths. If bicycles are allowed as well, you can indicate this by adding a bicycle=yes tag. Should not be used for paths where the primary or intended usage is unknown. Use highway=pedestrian for pedestrianised roads in shopping or residential areas and highway=track if it is usable by agricultural or similar vehicles. For ramps (sloped paths without steps), combine this tag with incline=*. | ||||
highway | bridleway | For horse riders. Pedestrians are usually also permitted, cyclists may be permitted depending on local rules/laws. Motor vehicles are forbidden. | ||||
highway | steps | For flights of steps (stairs) on footways. Use with step_count=* to indicate the number of steps | ||||
highway | corridor | For a hallway inside of a building. | ||||
highway | path | A non-specific path. Use highway=footway for paths mainly for walkers, highway=cycleway for one also usable by cyclists, highway=bridleway for ones available to horse riders as well as walkers and highway=track for ones which is passable by agriculture or similar vehicles. | ||||
highway | via_ferrata | A via ferrata is a route equipped with fixed cables, stemples, ladders, and bridges in order to increase ease and security for climbers. These via ferrata require equipment : climbing harness, shock absorber and two short lengths of rope, but do not require a long rope as for climbing. | ||||
When sidewalk/crosswalk is tagged as a separate way | ||||||
footway | sidewalk | Sidewalk that runs typically along residential road. Use in combination with highway=footway or highway=path | ||||
footway | crossing | Crosswalk that connects two sidewalks on the opposite side of the road. Often recognized by painted markings on the road, road sign or traffic lights. Use in combination with highway=footway or highway=path. Useful information is presence of tactile_paving=*, wheelchair=* suitability and kerb=* represented as a node on the crosswalk way. | ||||
footway | traffic_island | The way between two crossings, safespot for pedestrians, has micromapping characteristics as a detailed alternative to =*. Use in combination with highway=footway or highway=path. | ||||
When sidewalk (or pavement) is tagged on the main roadway (see Sidewalks) | ||||||
sidewalk | both | left | right | no | Specifies that the highways has sidewalks on both sides, on one side or no sidewalk at all | ||||
When cycleway is drawn as its own way (see Bicycle) | ||||||
highway | cycleway | For designated cycleways. Add foot=*, though it may be avoided if default-access-restrictions do apply. | ||||

cycleway | track | A track provides a route that is separated from traffic. In the United States, this term is often used to refer to bike lanes that are separated from lanes for cars by pavement buffers, bollards, parking lanes, and curbs. Note that a cycle track may alternatively be drawn as a separate way next to the road which is tagged as highway=cycleway. | ||||
cycleway | Deprecated variant for ways with oneway=yes that have a cycling track going the opposite direction of normal traffic flow. Replaced by oneway:bicycle=no + cycleway:left=track/cycleway:right=track + cycleway:left:oneway=-1/cycleway:right:oneway=-1. | |||||
