Hi folks, Editing in Boundary County, Idaho in the Panhandle, I've been extending the forest landuse area around Bonners Ferry and have come across a difficulty in classifying forest roads.
It seems that many have been automatically imported and have highway=residential, which is just plain wrong. For roads that appear metalled (paved) and/or access mines, quarries, communication towers etc. I label highway=service, for roads that are unpaved or sometimes seem to almost fade out I label highway=track. For roads that appear to be public access (e.g. to go to a lake) but are obviously even more minor than tertiary roads I label highway=unclassified. Is there a more consistent recommended method? The US Topo map gives forest road references so I add ref FS xxxx. TIGER seems to be at best very coarse, at worst fictional. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
