At north-east of Pikini near to the shore, it seems like landuse=farm (rural), I ask if the most appropiate tag is:
highway=track http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrack (where tracktype=grade1 involves paving) Here some pictures of highways in Dakar during past floods: http://esp.habitants.org/la_via_urbana/asamblea_mundial_de_los_habitantes/galerias_de_imagenes/desalojos_en_dakar 2012/9/7 Séverin MENARD <severin.men...@gmail.com> > IMHO it is tricky to categorize strictly what is urban and what is rural. > In France for example we have geographic concepts called "periurban" and > "rurban" describing various intermediate situations.
