I need help figuring out how to tag some local multi-use recreational trails, and the current discussion on osm-talk isn't making it any easier :)
What I'm trying to do is map the San Francisco Bay Trail and connecting trails. For the moment I'm ignoring the portions of the "trail" that are overlayed on public roads with car traffic. Here's an example: a large portion of the trails are on top of levees around salt evaporation ponds around the Bay. Some of these segments are gravel roads that are 3 or 4 meters wide, where a passenger car could easily drive 50 kph if legally permitted. In fact service vehicles (government, landowner) do use these roads from time to time, but primarily they're used for foot, bicycle, and/or horse travel. Are these "tracks" or "paths"? I need to account for the fact that in places, these roads are gated, and access changes from public to private. On the private sections, it doesn't make much sense to me to tag them for bicycle/foot/horse traffic, but I need something that will still render. This may be the wrong thing to do, but in many cases I rely on the Osmarender templates to infer which of several choices is likely the most popular method. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
