I did make a proposal last year to try and clarify the key/value, but most people seem to think unclassified is good enough: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/highway:rural In any case, this would be one of those regional differences you pointed out, I wouldn't consider them to be tracks, as tracks are something that exist in national parks, where as this example was a through fare between rural roads, even if there are no houses, the through fare bit is the important bit. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
