I tossed this out to the talk-ca list, and didn't get a response, so let me toss this out here...
About a week and a half ago I was in Toronto, Ontario's west end near the Humber River, and I saw (but didn't map), a service road that runs beside a section of the Humber River. Now mapping a service road is not an issue, but what makes this one of interest is that it is closed to motorised vehicles during winter, and during winter serves as a pedestrian trail. In other words a seasonal road, so, question is how to tag a road like that? It does serve as a pedestrian trail year round, but during summer cars are allowed... Tag it as a trail or tag it as a service road? Obviously not the only sort of seasonal road we have in Canada, I'm thinking about the ice roads in the arctic, where for most of the year you might be talking a lake, but for several weeks each year when the ice gets thick enough, tractor trailers trucks will be running along well defined routes over the ice... Again how to tag a road that is only in operation for a certain part of the year? Yes, I have seen : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Access_restrictions that would kind-of/sort-of address the above issue but for now what do people suggest? Thanks.
