[talk-au] scenic routes

Hi all, I have an angle for updating OSM. I want to find a file of all scenic drives. The ones sign posted with brown signs that you see when driving. For all my Googling, I can't seem to find a map or a file of these. It would be good to tag all such roads in OSM so it's easy to plan scenic

I guess for copyright reasons you would actually need to go and read the street signs instead of tagging out of a copyrighted book or file? Russell On 2012-11-08 00:02, wil ly wrote: Hi all, I have an angle for updating OSM. I want to find a file of all scenic drives. The ones sign posted

Hi guys, I have discovered, finally, a couple of resources for tourist drives (as indicated by numbered brown signs). 1. DERM's physical roads dataset dated 28/9/2010 has a TOURNUM field, but this only seems to contain a few tourist drives: 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 16, 22, 23, 42, 43, 99, LA and z (the
