place | square
highway | road

There are only a couple obscure routing engines that can route through areas, so you will have to use interconnected linear ways probably.
What square are you mapping exactly?
If the entire square is open to cars, you should do something like the following:
On the square area itself set
Also connect all the other roads entering/exiting the square to each other, so that they are routable; make sure they all have appropriate
highway=*tags set, so that routers don't get confused.Make sure that all pedestrian paths (sidewalks) are also connected together, using
highway=crossingwhen appropriate.merde@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y
i followed these instructions, hoping that it works

@merde I'd say the same way as routable pedestrian square. Draw the square outline for main tags, and add main flow lines as regular highways crossing it.

The
highway=roadtag is for a road of unknown type.The square should be tagged with an actual classification and have
area=yeson it to indicate that it is meant to be treated as an area.https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway
If the acceptable vehicles aren't what you'd expect for that type of road you can override with the relevant access tag:

Routing support is poor, so most with show a route around the perimeter.
