Hi Folks, recent I have been going over parts of OSM mapped some time
ago, following up on the infamous redaction. One thing that jumps out
at me is the inconsistent tagging of dirt roads. Even, I must say,
ones I have done myself but over a several year time span.
So I started to write some
A couple of quick comments:
There is a 4wd tag already in use - 4wd_only:yes|recommended (with no
being a pointless value)
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:4wd_only%3Dyes There's about 1000
instances of this tag in use in Australia.
There was a proposal kicking around ages ago that

I thing the lanes tag is best not used, unless there's more than two
marked lanes on a two-way road, or more than one lane on a one-way road.
This is the recommendation in the Australian tagging guidelines:
OK, I'm interested in what you say about lanes= John (and the rest
too!)
I use lanes=1 to indicate that a road is generally only wide enough
for one car, if one approaches traveling in the other direction, both
need to slow a little and pull of to the side. Similarly for
overtaking. Thats
Well said Matt, especially the bit about dirt roads being the fun
ones !
I might have made myself a bit clearer about why I posted. Firstly,
because I want to ensure people are happy with proposed edits to the
wiki. But secondly, I'd like to start a discussion about how our map
data ends up
Hi John,
It occurs to me there's at least one other case which warrants tagging the
lanes - a two-way road (or section thereof) having only a single lane. I.E.
when there are LESS than one in each direction, making passing difficult or
unsafe at normal speeds.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Ah dirt roads how difficult you are! Firstly, just because a road is dirt
(unsealed/unpaved) doesn't make it any less important than many others. David,
while the Plenty Hwy may be considered a 'track' by some (I have travelled the
whole length of it quite recently and we passed a few Falcons

As you say Matt, 4x4_only is a good tag and well used in Oz. However,
I don't know of any rendering engine that uses it, about the only way
to find out if it has been applied is to go into edit mode. And you
are right, we sure don't need
Hi Nathan, rather than difficult, I'm surprised how in agreement every
one is ! Thanks folks ! If it goes on like this, I'll post a summary
in a few days.

Ian, would it be fair to say that your model would require the
presence of the 4x4_only tag on all unsealed roads to be useful ?
Currently, the default is that no 4x4_only tag means no restriction. I
suggest its a bit late to change that behavior, too many roads already
in the database would
