Well, what information do you want it to get across? Do we want "OSM Australia"
to become some form of semi-official name for OSM activities/groups in
Australia? Or do we just want a sign which says "There's an OpenStreetMap

I don't know if that would contrast enough to be noticable.
The other option is if we assume any ways that are tagged highway=ford are
mostly highway=unclassified, then we can just render
Well, how about blue highlighting around the way?
I've got a major assignment due tomorrow which is taking the bulk of my time
but once it's done I might have a play with Inkscape and try to come up with a

Hmm, yeah the Wiki entry shows that highway=ford can be a node or a way. Since
fords tend to be in isolated places it's rare that somebody would require a
zoom level which would differentiate between a node or way ford.

I've come across this before, I just made the ford the node that crosses, not
the way.

Noted.
As far as I'm aware, all railtrails are designed predominantly for bicycle
use. This is a reflection of both the distances usually involved and the users
they attract. I do see the occasional walker on a railtrail, and these, horse
riders and wheelchair users are also encouraged to use

When I made that edit, I probably worded it wrongly, as I meant that
the residential tag was to be used in rural areas, but by that I meant
local streets in the towns. But I made that edit when I didn't really

I would have thought that the tag highway=path would be more appropriate.
After that follow what is in the wiki guidelines. I don't think we should
necessarily appeal to the majority/minority on a particular path, but describe
its properties.
I was labelling many hiking paths as footway but have
lakeyboy or others, can you recall the evidence for this change?

an unclassified road in my town isn't going to have the same volume of traffic
as a residential road in a city.
