I'm not sure if it's most or not, it would be most the western side of the
range, but there seems to be quite a few on the eastern side in QLD where this
isn't the case,
There are a lot of highway=ford out there that would
probably be better described as mostly=dry :)
Someone tagged a lake as:
water = intermittent
Would it be a good idea to tag causeways/fords that rarely have water running
through them this way?

Do we need a new setting highway=low_water_crossing ?
ford should do that OK.
We have an interesting language problem in

Something else I can't work out how to tag is a jetty, the thing that juts

perhaps I needn't worry too much.

Yup, in New South, when you have a concrete road way
built into the bottom of a creek bed, crossing the creek,
that's a causeway. Except it's a ford.
Except the deff of a ford is that it's usually wet and the slabs in NSW creeks

I did see that earlier but for some reason thought it was different, just
looked at the full sized photo and it certainly looks like a causeway, thanks
for pointing that out.
Another question I thought of
