[talk-au] Just watching the offroad rally in nsw....

2009-09-05 Thread John Smith
and something occurred to me, the sorts of roads that we've been
trying to get those eurocentric people to understand do exist in
Europe, they aren't tracks but they exist in Europe and other places
where they do these rallies. We probably just have more of these sorts
of roads.

So I guess this is something we could use as an example in future
when, not if, it comes up again.

[talk-au] Relation:destination_sign

I looked at this page

 after reading a diary entry.

My first thought Don't they have vandals over there?

However, it's more useful than recording road surfaces.

It could be more useful, if it was common enough, because you could
end up with software that does this:

[talk-au] 4wd only, not just an aussie thing.

2009-09-05 Thread John Smith
While looking through the symbols on this page:

http://www.nps.gov/hfc/carto/map-symbols.htm

Or more specifically the PDF of symbols:

http://www.nps.gov/hfc/carto/symbols/map_symbols.pdf

I noticed something curious, one of the icons has next to it:

4-wheel-drive road

So the US NPS also has 4wd only roads on their books.
