> highway=causeway While I can accept a causeway dry on both sides as a limiting case, a causeway with inclined=up or 10% stretches my understanding of Causeway to the breaking point. Rather than wikipedia, let's check OSM feature wiki - That would be http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Causeway *Definition:* A raised way allowing passage over water, marsh land, or unstable land such as sand. All examples are intrinsically flat if not wet. I don't think that fits. Nor would I tag the Great Wall of China as a Causeway, as it goes up and down mountains, not through a swamp. This is so even if there were no underpassage below the TreeTop Way for the wildlife as you seem to presume, on what evidence I can't guess. A causeway like that would be contrary to sound forest management. It's most likely highly cantilevered or hung between pillars, to minimally disrupt the forest. Lacking an AerialPath or Treetop Way or a Catwalk, bridge=yes seems close as it gets. -- Bill [email protected] [email protected]
