True, but it is probably just a technicality, in that it is the same property owner on both sides of the road, with a strip of public land (the road) down the middle. You just can't tell because there are no fences. (Actually, this is where Google maps can be useful in Australia because they do show propperty boundaries, though not always reliably.)
On old maps this situation used to be marked by a sort of elongated S crossing the road to signify that the property continued. The cattle grids mark either the boundary of paddocks in the same property or the boundaries between different properties. The same thing applies to railway lines that go through people's properties. The railways call them "rail corridors" and these days treat them very much as private land. 2009/10/20 John Smith <deltafoxtrot...@gmail.com> > 2009/10/20 swanilli <swani...@gmail.com>: > > Here is a pragmatic solution based on AS 1348 and OSM custom: > > > > highway=road if it is open to the public and located between property > > boundaries, regardless of surface. > > Some roads go through private properties, but they aren't tracks, you > usually cross cattle grids when entering/exiting the private property, > even though the road is publicly accessible. >
