I was importing some CanVec in northern BC and came across a resource road on bing, which I also added, but I realized I wasn't positive on the best tagging.
A typical example is http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=59.395&lon=-122.074&zoom=16 These roads exist for forestry and oil and gas use. In this particular region they're primarily built for accessing oil and gas leases and have trucks running to/from the wells. They aren't generally used for through traffic. They are almost always unpaved but maintained to some minimum standard. There seem to be to be three obvious tagging choices (aside from highway=road which is never wrong) highway=track tracktype=grade1 highway=service surface=unpaved highway=unclassified surface=unpaved I am in favour of the first (track with tracktype) but would like to get some thoughts from others. As an aside, these roads are not in Google, CanVec or any other sources I quickly checked. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
