It can also display access restrictions. I think the phone apps are leaving Garmin behind.

If you just delete the tag, someone might interpret it as an accidental deletion. A changed tag is clearly a deliberate decision based on new information.

When a road is unpaved we use the surface=unpaved tag, the default (no tag) being paved. When an unpaved road is (roadwork) paved, should the tag be deleted or changed to paved? Changed to 'paved', not deleted. And only the section that is paved should be tagged paved, not the other parts that remain unpaved. If the paving is going to be removed .. then I simply don't bother. If the paving is going to be unmaintained and deteriorate .. then I'd still mark it paved .. and later on unpaved. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
