With this same HIU/DigitalGlobe image provided for the Boende area, zooming-in
closely with JOSM at around 30m zoom level, I can see in Bounde town how large
is a street.

In comparizon, for these last section of roads that connect to these
settlements in the forestry zone we talk about, I can hardly spot a thin trace
when sometimes there is less trees. With such a thin trace, I cannot conclude
that a car can go there.
I would classify these last sections as path since I have no information to
conclude that a car can circulate there. I cannot conclude that the housing
material was carried by car for this last portion going to the houses.

Dan,
Interesting, and it kept me busy for a while.
Can I say first of all that I wouldn't want to lose anyone in an argument over
this one. The tree cover is too dense to be sure of anything, and if it was me
mapping it, I'd actually put an additional road in extending to the East &
South from the isolated section of residential road - I think it goes through
the small deforested areas & joins with the other sections of highway.
All of the buildings I can see are of rectangular construction & judging from
the reflections I guess they have corrugated iron roofs. The materials for
these buildings were brought in by motor vehicle. The clearings appear to have
been created with motor vehicles. It would not be a comfortable ride, but I
would mark most of the highways as residential / unclassified. One way or
another the isolated section of residential highway needs to be connected to
the rest of the highway network by something a motor vehicle (4x4) could
navigate along.
I'm looking with JOSM without the benefit of the border to a task square so my
next comment may be 'outside the box', but the highway lengths also need to
connect to the other length of highway to the West - there is a small cloud
partially obscuring the route, but there is a route visible for most of it & a
straight line length of highway may be needed for part of it through the cloud
- it must be there somewhere!
Hope this helps

Hi all,
Just having a mini discussion with another mapper about road vs path.
We're both familiar with the Highway Tagging Africa scheme, but we
drew different conclusions about the particular routes we were looking
at.
So it'd be handy if anyone wants to comment on road-vs-path for this location:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/-0.32568/20.94023
And who knows, maybe it would be suitable to use as an example for
future mappers, since we didn't intuitively come to the same
conclusions.
Thanks
Dan
