Yup, exactly, I more or less know what is there when I was surveying it with a GPS, but that doesn't help the next person, for roads that partially exist I put a barrier in, but that doesn't help for complete roads that don't exist. > Another case would be for streets that no longer exist, but > once existed, and where there are GPS traces in OSM for the > street that used to exist. (There are a couple in Tamworth > like this.) I don't have a good solution for these. Something that came to mind reading your reply was railway=abandoned, it doesn't render but it's still marked, there's no way we'd get agreement upon this from the main list they're still going in circles over trees and paths. Something like highway=abandoned or highway=phantom, I'm not advocating to copy from other maps, but if you have mapped out streets near by it should be possible to approximate rough location in OSM database.
