In part because it's unclear if you are supposed to tag the *worst spot* (one pothole) or the *average experience* (potholes every 3 meters)? A road of sustained moderate sand might be far worse for some vehicles, compared to a road with one deep sand spot. Conversely a deep sand spot might stop certain vehicles that could readily pass over miles of moderate sand. --- I think a description is often far more useful to a map reader: *description*=Forest road well maintained in summer, but not graded during winter. Has two stream crossings with 10 inch high rocks, easily passed on a bicycle or motorbike, but difficult for low clearance vehicles.
