Okay perhaps I could have been clearer but I wasn't suggesting omitting the highway tag on paths that have the occasional fallen tree or something that is likely to be rectified quickly, what I had in mind was when someone builds a house over a public right of way or where you'd need power-tools because the path is completely non-existent. It's the same principal as roadworks where we don't change how we tag unless they are going to close the road for a significant length of time. > > As Chris Hill suggests contact your L.A.
