Re: [OSM-talk] Path in JOSM preset and motorcar=yes/designated
Support addition of motor_vehicle to presets for highway=track ... This would usefully match a 'restricted byway' in England - as opposed to a 'byway open to all traffic' (BOAT).

Re: [OSM-talk] Path in JOSM preset and motorcar=yes/designated
Hi, Hi, I would really appreciate if the JOSM presets dictators could remove the option about motorcar in the JOSM presets dialog. We get on the french ML more and more complains about the confusion between unclassified, tracks, footway, path, etc. If in addition, the JOSM presets about highway=path suggests that a path is also for motorcars, we will never stop ! I agree there is some fuzzyness between unclassified, track, footway, cycleway and path. But this fuzzyness cannot be removed just by changing the JOSM presets. If a car can use it, it's a track, not a path. I better should resist to abuse my dictatorship for tagging politics ;-) . Anyway, I have removed motorcar from the list of options, as tagwatch does not show significant use (10 times motorcar=no in Europe). If the removal triggers some complaints, I'll reenable it.

If the removal triggers some complaints, I'll reenable it. thank you. I think it was a good decision to remove motorcar as option from path as Pieren said: if cars can use the way, it's at least a track. cheers, Martin ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I couldn't give a track default access restriction in France for instance. It's really depending on the region.

I think it was a good decision to remove motorcar as option from path as Pieren said: if cars can use the way, it's at least a track. Sometimes paths are signed with prohibition signs for motorcars, in which case it does make sense to tag the paths with motorcar=no. Cars don't have to be able to use the road to put that sign there.
