Some of those look like potential pedestrian to me: the main criterion I use is not whether cars have ever used the way but whether cars could use them if they were legally allowed to do so (and often they are in some restricted case, such as emergency veicles and other rare exceptions). It is not easy to judge from a quick look at the pics, but at least in some cases I believe that a city car, driven by a local who knows that the road isn't getting smaller, could use that street. In the case of Venice I believe it could be useful to contact the local mappers; since their situation is quite different from most other cities they may have a slighty different usage. -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
