So, partly my question is about clarifying the consensus on the Roads page, but it's also then making sure the correct info is included in the task instructions.
Just noticed in the Local Roads section of the Nepal Roads page it says unpaved but motorable roads should be highway=track. That's also what's in the task instructions. Now a couple people say highway=unclassified would be better. But the latter was only added to that page yesterday, so is that the consensus? If so, it should be added or changed in the instructions. In the section Pedestrian Paths, highway=path is mentioned for dirt (mainly foot) paths, so I'm assuming that'd be best for the more narrow paths, such as in the "good rural path" photo? highway=footway is only mentioned in the context of paved paths on that page, yet, the suspension bridge tagging in the instructions recommends using footway on those. And in the instructions, the only suggested tag given for pedestrian paths is highway=pedestrian. Again, it'd be good to clarify the tagging, then clarify the instructions. I'm not trying to be a pest about this, but I've seen the messages complaining about new mappers. I get the frustration, but if there aren't clear directions for these common cases, new mappers are left to do the best they can (and possibly their own frustration), with sometimes messy results. :) Cheers, Brad On Tue, Apr 28, 2015 at 11:03 AM, althio <althio.fo...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 28 April 2015 at 11:46, Brad Neuhauser <brad.neuhau...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > on the Nepal Roads page, there is a section on > > Highways in Rural & Mountainous Areas which seems to imply that > highway=path > > is usually the correct tagging for these roads.
