For unpaved roads with well-established ruts, I count the number of ruts and divide by 2 to get the lane count. This is useful to figure out things like how difficulty it would be to pass oncoming traffic. Tagging the width is useful in a different way: ruts two meters apart that pass between a pair of boulders also two meters apart are far more restrictive of who can drive there than ruts two meters apart on a way that's been cleared an additional meter on either side. -- Mark ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Never heard of narrow=yes before. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
[Tagging] narrow=yes, vs lanes=1, vs width
My entire county is contained within a national forest, and most of the roads through residential areas are a single lane dirt road maintained (sort-of) by the homeowners themselves. Often at the last house the road becomes an unmaintained jeep trail, usually gated, and goes a really long way into the forest. We use these for wildland fires and rescues frequently. The question is how to tag the change in the road. Usually it becomes "smoothness=very_bad", etc... The question is since it's now more of a track used by jeeps, should it be narrow=yes, still lanes=1, or should I use width=2m ? To me, lanes= seems to apply more to non 4wd_only tracks. They're also usually narrower than the single lane highway too. The width of the "highway" is important if you're trying to figure out what size fire truck to bring to the wildland fire... - rob - ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
