Hi everyone,

That gap is my fault :) I've made a number of updates to the road classes in Lausanne to reflect ongoing changes in the road network here:
- previously the primary continued from the current gap at Tunnel via Rue Centrale, Flon and Rue de Genève to the Malley roundabout roughly matching the classes on Swisstopo, but that has not been updated yet to reflect recent changes in Lausanne
- the easternmost part of Rue de Genève is now closed for construction and will remain permanently closed to cars, but all the rest of Rue de Genève is essentially one large construction site as well (until 2026 for https://tramway-lausannois.ch/) and not well suited for through-traffic
- I upgraded Avenue de France/Tivoli/Jules-Gonin from Malley to St François from secondary to primary as that's the main option for going west now
- I'm not a car user myself and not familiar with all current signposting, so I didn't want to make edits that don't reflect the on-the-ground situation, but I think the best way to close the gap would be to upgrade Rue Caroline leading to St François to primary. I can do that soon unless somebody else has any other suggestions.

Best,
Enno (eginhard)

It's certainly a good idea in 2024 to reflect that, don't you think?

I would refer to the osm classes of primary, secondary and so on instead of colors which refer to a particular map style. Anyway, the documentation about which class maps onto which roads in Switzerland is here:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Switzerland/Map_Features

Now the primary in particular has problems for example in Zurich (I don't know the situation in Lausanne) where signage just vanishes inside the city. They really don't want you to drive through the city, but take the ring around it.
