It won't ever be possible to have a system which covers everything clearly for everybody, so regional differences will exist. A long standing convention on a printed Australian map is that a road which is unsealed is drawn with a broken line of the same colour and width as the road would have if it was sealed. so you can say "that is the usual route, it isn't sealed" and then you may need to change travel plans because the road is closed completely or unusable for your vehicle type. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
