Well, winter_road would be fine, it will do its thing - mark winter roads. However, surface tag is preferred. First, we already have standartized tag surface=ice_road, who is the closest brother of winter_road. Second, this tag really describes the surface. The surface of winter road is tamped snow always, when this road can be treated as road :) P.S. I'd appreciate comments from mappers from Canada and Alaska. -- Totus tuus, Glebius. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
