When comparing satellite imagery and various maps on Vic Maps, you can find what seem to be road corridors that don't have roads in them. (I'm looking on https://vic.digitaltwin.terria.io/ and https://mapshare.vic.gov.au/mapsharevic/ and when you show parcel data you can see these linear areas that extend off the end of roads, usually in rural areas. These linear areas do not show parcel information, unlike the surrounding blocks)
They tend to be visible in sat imagery too as scrubby or rougher land compared to the fields and paddocks around them. I would love to be able to legally (and safely) use these as walking and running routes in my surrounding countryside, and also allow others to do so. They're attractive as they're traffic free. I'll link to some examples below, but I'll ask my questions here: 1. How can I validate if these are unbuilt roads, and how can I check what the access is? 1a. I guess as these aren't main roads that they belong to the local council? 2. If a path is already present then I can map that as a simple path, but how could I map and tag the land? Cheers, Adam Example 1 : Lambert Road, Pearcedale https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/-38.1829/145.2334 If you look on VicMap you can see the corridor extends to the west to meet with Middle Road. https://vic.digitaltwin.terria.io/#share=s-2TIhhoK5rNdNfc4m2WxVtMMraiG https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=-38.182821%7E145.233097&lvl=17.8&style=h This one seems pretty clear to me as there's a nice clear wooded line, when I recently passed this on Middle Rd you could see an unfenced section. Example 2 : NW extension of 'Favorite Hill Rd' to North Road https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/-38.17566/145.23470 https://vic.digitaltwin.terria.io/#share=s-5PIrhAi6EP5M1ivchIyH9lfyGxF https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=-38.174379%7E145.236276&lvl=17.3&style=h This one is visible on sat imagery, however it does seem to be fenced off from the established road.
