| 107843590 | over 4 years ago | Hi there - just a note: Don't set the "access" tag to "no" (i.e. access=no) on a trail or road, unless the road is closed to all traffic! An 'access=no' tag supersedes all other access tags!

| 108340748 | over 4 years ago | OMG - you took care of the 'disused:railway=rail' tags for me on the Murwillumbah rwy line! Thank you! That was a brainfart - only remembered after I had already gone past Byron Bay. Thx again! |
| 108340748 | over 4 years ago | Actually - Elaroo Rill was on the DCS basemap, but the 2 others were mentioned on a blog post referencing the 1:100,000 NATMAP for Penrith, and I confirmed their existence on geoscience.gov.au.

| 108208329 | over 4 years ago | Mike - I suspect that trail is now a disused:highway - both ends obscured so hikers stay off it, but still a visible trail in the middle. I'm firmly in the "map what's there" camp, and not in the "NPS/USFS doesn't want this trail used so don't map it" club. *grin*
|
| 108208329 | over 4 years ago | AGGGGHHHH! No excuse - I was in a hurry and did some sloppy tagging.
|
| 107617247 | over 4 years ago | And apologies for any snark I may have thrown at you. :) |
| 107617247 | over 4 years ago | Yep - agreed. We're really on the same team here! I appreciate what you're doing in RoMo - I've run into so much bad/sloppy mapping lately, it's refreshing to see someone who knows what they're doing! |
| 107617247 | over 4 years ago | I found it - way #180642376. Guilty as charged. |
| 107617247 | over 4 years ago | Yes - the section is talking about bare 'highway=path' ways, and that explicitly tagging access is better than just a one-tag trail.

| 107617247 | over 4 years ago | And fyi, general consensus is that dirtbike and ATV trails should be tagged as track.
|
| 107617247 | over 4 years ago | First sentence of the wiki, emphasis mine: highway=path is a generic path, either multi-use or unspecified usage, OPEN TO ALL NON-MOTORIZED VEHICLES and not intended for motorized vehicles unless tagged so separately. If a trail is *meant* to be a walking trail, and other non-motorized use is discouraged but not explicitly allowed, you can tag 'foot=designated'. |
| 107617247 | over 4 years ago | Keep in mind the default access permissions that each kind of way allows. The 'highway=path' tag allows foot, horse and bicycle only, so if a trail does not allow one of those three, THEN you call it out with a tag. Anything other than those 3 is not allowed, so no need to tag it as such. |
| 107617247 | over 4 years ago | That's called overtagging, or "Tag Bloat". Ways tagged as 'path' by default allow foot traffic and don't allow motor vehicle traffic. It's like you adding 'motor_vehicle=yes' to an arterial road - it's not needed and an overuse of these kind of tags slows down the database.

| 107333977 | over 4 years ago | Thx Andy - Sorry for the delay in responding. I was trying to answer back via OSMCha and it wasn't cooperating.
|
| 27990066 | over 4 years ago | I think I just figured it out. Not CANL, it's "Can I". |
| 27990066 | over 4 years ago | I see you're still mapping - since this change is from 6 years ago I understand if your memory is blank on this... but you named a hiking/biking trail "Canl" (way/209973143). Any idea what the name was meant to be? Thanks in advance... |
| 88732731 | over 4 years ago | Ne tenez pas compte de mon commentaire - je vois que vous êtes local sur le terrain. Peut-être que depuis que vous êtes là-bas, vous pourrez résoudre de nombreux problèmes de dénomination des villages dans les régions de Beni / Butembo? |
| 88732731 | over 4 years ago | I don't think this is Mangodomu - where did you get this placename data?
