IMHO using "offroad" does NOT make it more clear that "this is mainly for signs". I can't think of any reason why "offroad" would be better than 4wd_only, especially given that "4WD Only" or similar is exactly what is on the sign. Perhaps "designated_4wd_only", but that looks horrible. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
