Good, that makes sense. > General comment: I am happy to map/tag in any internally consistent way according to community consensus.

That is what I have always thought, but it seems that some people seem to object to the way in question being tagged as highway=path (because it is wide and its surface is gravel?) when it is clearly (I surveyed it in person) constructed and signed for recreational foot and bike use and is owned and operated by the City of Loveland Parks and Recreation Department (I guess I could add an operator=* tag if that would help). > There are unpaved highway=trunk, there are paved highway=track and so on. > > A way that is used to access a private residence from a public road is highway=service, service=driveway (functional classification), unless it is too long (exact distance not specified), or too rough (physical classification). > > Way used solely to access a private residence is always highway=service, service=driveway no matter > whatever it is short, long, paved, unpaved, lit, unlit, ugly or 22 lanes wide. Again, this is what I have always thought, but there was an earlier discussion on this list where some people objected. > > Why you think that "too rough" driveway is no longer highway=service, service=driveway? > (if based on poor wiki docs then I would be happy to fix, if it is based on iD presets then > I would not recommend using iD presets to learn how OSM tagging works - there are > some problematic cases like peculiar description of highway=track that are deliberately > unfixed) I use JOSM, and usually enter tags by hand as opposed to using the presets. In the above mentioned earlier discussion some participants were opposed to me changing a highway=track to highway=service, service=driveway based on length and condition. Someone even questioned whether the owner of the property might own a 4x4 vehicle and if that was necessary to access the residence over the way in question. I didn't think that could have anything to do with it. > if confused ask on mailing list (or elsewhere). That is usually the source of confusion. Multiple, conflicting, views. Mike
