I don't say that the pictures are wrong, but it would be helpful to have perhaps six representative pictures of every level.
Related question: does the tag only cover uneven ground or also for example also deep soft sand that may be difficult to cross. The tag surface=sand in itself doesn't tell much how hard is is to pass. What I am looking for is a tag that tells me how much trouble I will have passing irrespective of the importance of the road (highway=*) or the surface. An extra complexity is that the ease of passing may be season dependent (wet sand is easier to drive than dry sand), what about seasonal river crossings (seasonal=yes and ford=yes by itself don't tell the whole story). "Smoothness" may not be the perfect phrase, but the bottom line question is: how hard is it to pass with a 2WD, 4WD, motorcycle etc. On Wed, Mar 11, 2015 at 11:25 PM David <dban...@internode.on.net> wrote: > I am a little unsure what the problem is with the pictures.
