Do you propose to change all values of surface if the aren't either paved or unpaved? > Another question is whether to use paved or unpaved as default. I'd answer it with: no default > Probably, paved is the correct tag for most of the world, as in a > large part of the world, most roads are paved. I'd assume the most roads as unpaved, thinking of Australia, India, Africa, South America, smaller roads in North America as someone wrote lately and even in Europe there are some countries with a lot of unpaved roads. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
