Everyone,
I need guidance on tagging where dirt roads are major ways.
In western parts of the United States, especially the Southwest, a
dirt road may be a major link, reaching deep into a rural area. These
usually are very good dirt roads, wide and graded regularly. Because
of their good quality, they provide access for the average passenger
car, which often can travel these roads at a fairly high rate of
speed, say 35 or 45 miles an hour.
If these ways are tagged as "track," they are rendered on
the map as an ordinary brown line. At lower resolutions, the brown
line becomes rendered as a dashed brown line, and the character of
these roads is lost completely. They are mapped like any other dirt track.
So I have been tagging them as tertiary roads and have added
"tracktype=grade1." Is this a problem? Is there an alternative?
