Wikipedia has 2 distinct entries, a ford is something close to the usual concrete slab I'm thinking/refering to, the US version of a causeway looks like a built up piece of land acting like a low bridge, although they do seem to have a Western Australian reference as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_(crossing) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causeway Looking at the photos above a ford looks the closest to what I'd call a causeway. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
