Do you think it is necessary, for the general user, to visually distinguish unsealed (unpaved/poor surface) footways/cycleways/paths from those that are sealed? This has been raised in an issue related to unsealed roads (with focus on motorized traffic) [1].
Unsealed roads will probably get a visual hint when they contain on of the following tags (please discuss them here or in the appropriate list [2], not in the issue tracker): tracktype=grade2/grade3/grade4/grade5 smoothness=bad/very_bad/horrible/very_horrible/impassable surface=ground/dirt/earth/sand/grass For typical pedestrians and cyclists, some of these conditions might be ok. Not so much for wheelchair users, seniors, or people who don't want to get dirty when it rains. :P [1] https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/110#issuecomment-116883466 [2] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2013-December/016007.html -- Fernando Trebien +55 (51) 9962-5409 "Nullius in verba." _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
