Hi all,
There are almost 8m highway=track objects in the database (thanks
taginfo!), third only to =residential and =service (thanks TIGER!).
I'm interested to know what level of access people believe this implies
in their home countries.
Here in the UK, for example, highway=track is often used for private
farm tracks, so you can't safely route over it unless access tags have
been added. But evidently that's not always the case elsewhere.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access-Restrictions
has suggestions for a few countries, but is missing some pretty major
ones, such as the US and the Netherlands.
cheers
Richard
