highway=track is for ways that are wide enough to be *potentially* used by a 4 wheel vehicle. If it's that wide and has tracks than you should tag it liek that. If legally only pedestrians are allowed add "vehicle=no". If it's a pedestrian footway in urban surroundings I would use highway=footway, if it's a rural hiking/walking trail I would prefer highway=path + foot=yes You see: Endless tagging opportunities :) Claudius _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
