Well, recreational routes and networks simply are not that organized, and jurisdiction or authority doesn't apply to most of them. I guess that is why the values are more generic. I still don't understand why you tag "US" while it's obviously a bunch of roads in the US. or Interstate when the

@Martin, the quote from the wiki really looks like a multipolygon definition. Would those walls be mapped as a multipolygon instead? Why do you say "A site means things are concentrated around a point", sites relation helps to map disjoint elements, but I don't think I saw anything about their
