It is not uncommon for stretches of old highways to become private roads if existing driveways still connect to them, or to be closed to motor traffic but be used as hiking or bicycle trails. The latter usage is particularly common with old bridges.

It's clear what it means by analogy with railway=disused (there's something remaining, most likely pavement, but it's no longer a usable highway). Alternately highway=service (or something else, though most classifications don't apply to disused highways) access=private might work. Here's an example of the latter: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=27.96465&lon=-82.426565&zoom=18&layers=M For whatever reason, when they rebuilt I-4 they left a small piece of the old westbound lanes, including a bridge. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging -- John F.
