> Is tracktype=grade1 surface=compacted a valid combination? while the EN wiki page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tracktype does not explicitly exclude it but "only" strongly suggests it by telling "Usually a paved surface (called also Sealed road)" for grade1 and "Usually an unpaved track with surface of gravel", the DE wiki page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Key:tracktype tells (translated by me) "waterproof surface" and thus explicitly excludes the combination.
Please allow me to add that what I'll call grade1 which ISN'T truly paved (or once was), but is essentially surface=compacted, is a distinctly different kind of road when it is wet, muddy or actively raining (at least for such tracks/roads around here). These become pretty slick and even "iffy" to drive upon (especially with > about 3% or 4% slope)
Exactly this is one major reason why I consider most surface=compacted to not not qualify for tracktype=grade1. Best regards, Georg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
