it's really kind of a hole in the tagging system. they were never public roads and aren't now. they're not currently active raceways, but they are visible artifacts. i could omit the highway tag altogether, in which case they would not render on openstreetmap.org, which is ok with me. this is why i'm looking for input. i'm really pretty ok with not providing a highway tag at all, as there isn't really a version that's right. richard -- [email protected] Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search
