There have been discussions on and off about seasonal roads / opening times. See e.g.: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg11274.html There are more like that, but I couldn't find any with a quick search. Anyway, since it's an official Winter road I recommend just tagging it as: XYZ:winter_road = yes Wher XYZ is the acronym or name of the Russian classification agency. But we probably want some sort of genaral scheme in the long term, e.g. in some countries there aren't "winter roads" but rather just roads with different degrees of guaranteed maintenance. Some roads might e.g. be plowed once a day in the winter, and others once a week. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
