How would you classify two ruts, with some fist-sized rocks dumped into the worst-eroded points, leading to the base of a billboard next to a highway? Technically it is a service road, used when the billboard is maintained, but I tagged it as a track due to its condition. Only a

Just trying to process this: wouldn't a tracktype 1 be tagged as unclassified or residential anyway? Or to ask a different way, assuming that roads with houses should be tagged as residential, when should one tag a sub-tertiary road as track vs. using unclassified? On Thu, Jul 3, 2014 at 9:21

Highway=service implies a private road, though; if a public road dead-ends at a single building or facility, it should be =residential or =unclassified, right? The tracktype= key is also not really applicable to many of the unmaintained roads around here, at least as described on the wiki. The

I think highway=service could be public or private, just a matter of if it is used to access a certain building / facility like Martin said. Some public examples could be road to a public parking lot, driveway in/out of fire station, road leading to a public works facility. On Thu, Jul 3, 2014

Not necessarily. The case I tend to run into, these are extremely rural roads suitable only as a last resort (or for recreational rat runs across The Big Empty) and tend to be prone to irregular maintenance, unevenly graded, do not have snow removal, may have fords, variable in width and tend to

Hi Martijn, I think it would be fine to put a scout section into the routing tag page. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing It should not be much text to describe what tags are used. Also, following the rest of this thread, the track/surface/etc tagging situation is very

I would expect tracks to be in play except when explicitly excluding unpaved roads, barring surface tags to the contrary, otherwise as a last resort. Much of the US doesn't pave county roads, yet they're often packed and graded to the point someone with a low slung sedan can safely do 45 on them.

IMO (based on both the wiki and what I've seen on the map), highway=track implies something that is not reasonably drivable by normal passenger cars at a normal rate of travel. In Vermont, we have a whole lot of unpaved roads that are perfectly fine at 35-45 MPH (well, except for mud season);
