[talk-au] Newbie intro
G'day all, A quick introduction, I'm starting out mapping the blank bits of country Victoria round my place, including some of the National Parks nearby. I'm using a combination of iPhone, various Garmin receivers and the odd Trimble to do the work. I've been enjoying reading the discussion on the status of 4WD tracks. Here in Vic there are three legal classes of tracks within National Parks and State forests: Management Vehicles Only (MVO), seasonally closed and open. All other signs (4WD, dry weather only) are advisory and have no legal status. I'm not sure how this would be best reflected in OSM! I look forward to learning heaps more here. Cheers H ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Cheers H sorry, i hit send on the wrong email welcome aboard we need more thinking about seasonal and unseasonal uses of roads, and other restrictions like 4wd_only; dry_weather_only so management vehicles only (and i presume fire trucks too) is another important restriction. whether it is legal or advisory is important to Germanic thinkers, less to us. Now we understand better how we get those Europeans doing stupid things on our roads - it wasn't illegal, it was only advisory :-$ ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I assume that would just be an access=private tag, even though it's crown land it's still considered as owned by NPWS usually. whether it is legal or advisory is important to Germanic thinkers, less to us. In a very strict sense, these dry_weather/4wd_only signs could be used to fine someone, like the sign you posted a link to showing all road damage will be paid for by anyone screwing up the road in wet weather.
