What is the preferred ref tag shorthand for forest service roads? I found one wiki page[1] that specifies NFR is to be used, which I don't think I've ever heard before. I can't find any supporting documentation, including discussions, mailing list threads, votes, etc. That info appears to have been added last year.
I'm used to hearing them called FS ## (e.g., FS 13). In the discussion page for that wiki, there is one single post devoted to the subject, which suggests FS, FR, and FSR as candidates. The same post links to a Colorado GIS group's Google Group thread on the subject, which includes feedback from actual US Forest Service people, and NFR is nowhere to be found in their comments. My query is more than just an intellectual exercise; recently I've begun seeking out various forest roads to investigate and improve the mapping of, both for personal reasons and to get them right on the map. As many OSM-based routers and map utilities work offline, they are the ideal tool to use if you want to go camping, fishing, or just exploring in the woods, since many of these areas are without cell coverage (at least in north Georgia). Any thoughts, feedback, comments, or criticism would be appreciated. --jack [1] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_States_roads_tagging
