All roads in the world were designed this way? Do you have a citation for that? > Do you have an example of a road where you don't think walking on the > grass is legal but walking on the road is? Not off the top of my head, no. Why does it matter? I have plenty of examples where there is no grass. Also, this situation comes to mind (I think this is the address, though I can't find the exact sign I was thinking of) where there was no sidewalk and a "no trespassing" sign. But I suspect that wasn't legally enforceable. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=8310+woodlake+pl&sll=28.02403,-82.580055&sspn=0.002765,0.00368&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=8310+Woodlake+Pl,+Town+%27n%27+Country,+Hillsborough,+Florida+33615&t=h&layer=c&cbll=28.023837,-82.580104&panoid=TOgG6xatTIkUcwNG2DI1Xw&cbp=12,336.3,,2,7.47&ll=28.023784,-82.580028&spn=0.002766,0.00368&z=18 _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
