As I recall, a long time ago this thread started off with the concern "people from the city might die on this hiking trail". Is that a function or a physical characteristic? >2. the default OSM rendering not considering physical characteristics >(particularly for non-urban ways) ... I am not clear on the definition of "urban" you use. I notice you also used this word in the doc you've written up (thank you!). Are my examples "urban"? They're well within city borders, near to urban areas, but they're not like a sidewalk. At what point do we cross from a city park pathway to a non-urban way? --Jarek _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
