Hi, In Switzerland there are a lot of these roads too (called "Feldwege" instead of Wirtschaftwege). I use the following tag set:
highway=track grade=<whatever grade is best> (I often omitt this tag) motorcar=destination (if the signposts read "Zubringerdienst gestattet" - could be a Helvetism, though) motorcycle=destination (if the signposts read "Zubringerdienst gestattet" - could be a Helvetism, though) bicycle=yes agricultural=yes (if the signposts read "Landwirtschaftliche Fahrzeuge gestattet") Tracks in forests are sometimes allowed for "Forstwirtschaftliche Fahrzeuge". There is no corresponding access tag, so, I usually use agricultural=yes by Karl -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Florian Steiper Gesendet: Sonntag, 3.

Now I am cycling around the area here and am trying to improve the cycle network as I see it as an unique application that is hard to match with other (commercial) products. So I found out about how to make relations.. just select everything you want, set the proper tags and there you go.. I also tagged a longer relation already with maybe 30km. Now comes the question :) Many of the cycle routes in the area are not running on dedicated cycle-ways. Most of them use "wirtschaftswege", small roads that are usually forbidden for motor traffic, but farmers are allowed to use them. When you enter such a way the sign in front of it usually says "no passing for motor vehicles, farming vehicles and bikes allowed". My understanding is that such a way should be tagged as track with a grade. I have a map from the local authorities with very short cycle routes that lead from one village to another. They mostly use those "tracks". Should I tag the ways as tracks and create a relation for every route (maybe 2-5km long) or is there a better way to handle this ? ciao Florian _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
