Hi, I've been mapping for about a year now in a tropical country, namely Sri Lanka. Problem : a lot of the smaller residential roads are so altered by the monsoon weather that you can hardly drive on them, there are more holes and ditches than proper surfaced road ? However most of these roads used to be surfaced (either with tar or concrete) a few years back.
How should I tag these? Here are the different options I found : 1. mark these roads as : highway='residential' AND surface='unpaved', 2. highway='unsurfaced' 3. highway='track' and tracktype='grade1' or 'grade2' of course, with option 2 and 3 we loose the residential tag , which is the most interesting property of the road, according to me. Has anybody faced these choices elsewhere ? I would be very interested by your feedback.
