Yes, all "unpaved" tracks will lost the "nature in the middle" by heavy use (cars, bicycle, pedestrians, ...) independantly from its grade... But if a track has two parallel lines "by definition", then the solution might be something like surface=continuous|discontinuous ... but surface is already in use... paved=continuous|discontinuous is not suitable for unpaved ways without "nature in the middle" Mmmm... continuous=yes|no|partially|...? surface:continuous=yes|no|partially|...? > But if someone doesn't pave the bit in the middle, I'd still > reckon it was a track/grade1. It's also my opinion. (good) asphalt/concrete -> grade1 (Seldomly I found some very bad asphalt tracks. Then I don't gave them grade1...) > There are an awful lot of track/grade1 in Germany, and I would like to know > what the typical surface is (whether it's any different to an English > country lane - that is a <4m paved road open to everything - which would be > tagged as "unclassified") asphalt and concrete are mostly used for grade1-tracks, sometimes stones (cobble and paving). If the roads are open fr everyone I would prefer service or unclassified, but there are other opinions, too... There are regional differences. E.g. in Northern Germany I know areas with dispersed settlement, where such small ways open for everyone are often used. A lot of grade1-tracks were built by "Flurbereinigung" (dict.leo.org translates to "farm or land consolidation") _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
