Rural roads are marked as minor/unclassified, not tertiary. Please fix this error.

Can do. I have a question about major minor roads and large tractor roads. Since the area population is pretty low here most of the minor roads are traveled frequently. How can you represent visually a minor gravel road to a farm road that's been graveled! Or, between a large 4 lane tractor route thats gravel like Q road and a 1 lane access route that's gravel like S road between 184th and 192nd?
I'd like to adhere to the guildlines as much as possible thanks for catching my slip up.
If your wondering I'm trying improve the map for my work area in fedex and most other site have little to no information on these areas. So everything I'm changing name wise is up to date along with road access in the rural parts but, my main focus the visuals of the map and not so much the data. That being said I do know the ins and outs of the area along with speed limits and road types. So I'll add those as I go and anything else thats needed. Just let me know what im missing and thank for your patience!

If you look to the north in Nebraska, I've been working on a similar project and that may help you find examples. Gravel roads that are minor arterials can be marked as tertiary roads. I often look at national classification maps and compare that to OSM's standards in order to make my decisions. KDOT may have a map library you can peruse for reference material.
The OSM wiki is also a great place to bone up on the different types of roads and how they are used, as well as naming conventions (I saw someone else had commented on that on one of your edits).
Keep up the good work, and thanks for being willing to learn!

Hi Nullsoftx, thanks for improving the map. In rural areas like this the difference between "unclassified" and "tertiary" can be a bit blurry. We deal with this a lot in mapping Colorado as well, for the same reasons.
I'd recommend reading over the wiki page for highway=tertiary: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtertiary
The key takeaway of it, from my perspective, is that a tertiary road is one that you use to get between local destinations, or to get you over to a through highway. Tertiary roads can certainly be gravel or paved, it has more to do with how they are used.
If you were just dropped in the middle of nowhere out there, you'd probably get onto an unclassified road first, then a tertiary, then connect to a secondary or primary.
If a road doesn't connect two different places, it should probably be "unclassified". If it connects two places, but not much else, then maybe tertiary, and then secondary and primary have more clear definitions regarding how they are used as real through highways.
And as mentioned, take a look at the road naming conventions - "167TH RD" should be "167th Road" - it is easier for a computer to abbreviate than to un-abbreviate, so we give the full name when editing.
Enjoy, and thanks for continuing to work on the map, particularly in rural areas that need the help.
