Yes, it's a practical description of a type of road. I know that what we have needs to make sense and not be easily confused between languages and cultures, but because we live on an island continent we should be able to set some standards which suit us rather than Europe. On smoothness I was wondering whether to rate "smoothness" before or after the grader went through. It's too variable here to be of any use in the real world. We also need something to describe "impassable when wet" or "dry weather only" and a descriptor for a creek or other waterway which isn't always there eg "ephemeral" _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
