2012-01-18 Thread Harald Kliems
Hi everyone, can someone please tell me what's up with the lanes=-1 and surface=unpaved tags on most roads imported from Canvec 7? I didn't find any information on the Canvec wiki page. Do those tags stand for number of lanes/surface unknown? Wouldn't it then be better to remove them with a
