[OSRM-talk] highway=track

[Tony Morris]

OK thanks. I saw some other email threads on this. I think it is a bit
arbitrary that access=yes is required isn't it? I mean, why prefer
requiring access=yes for routing versus requiring access=no to prevent
routing? I'm not sure of the benefit of this rule, anyway, I'll accept it.

My next question is about tagging routable tracks with access=yes. I
have done this now, however, how long until I see updates on the OSRM
map? It seems other people asked for this[1], but the issue was closed
without a fix. Is there any intention of fixing it?

Let's put it another way, if there is a highway=track without access=yes
and I'd like to route along that track, is it impossible to get that
route for at least a few days, except when I do my own build?

I'm just trying to get a decent route along a track with minimal fuss.
Thanks for your great work by the way!
