Richard,
All good advice, some of which I can't do because I'm
nowhere near El Paso. It looks like there's no impediment to driving
on the "roads," if anyone would want to. Where they empty onto a
paved road, there are some smears of dirt, so someone is using them.
And there don't seems to be fences or gates.
It is interesting that some actually have names. I wonder
what the city or county government would have to say about this.
Might be worth a call (by me).
Do we have anyone in the El Paso area who might have a
ground view of this?

Hello,
While doing the Maproulette, I came upon a large area east
of El Paso
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=31.7234&lon=-106.1106&zoom=13)
with hundreds of neatly laid-out roads tagged "residential" that
are only weathered tracks. Apparently, there were plans to build
extensive suburban areas, but they never were built.
How should this be tagged? Just make them all tracks?
Apologies if this has been discussed before
if they didn't exist, the highway=proposed would be ok.
but since they exist, i'd go with highway=track
if they never got signs, i'd remove the names, or change the tag to
name_proposed or something like that, but you can't really tell that
from the maproulette vantage point.
