<div>Hi Kevin,</div><div><br></div><div>Yes, splitting the way is
necessary because even though it's the same trail, each time any
characteristic of that trail changes, you must split it to apply those
characteristics to only the portion for which they're valid. The various
sections are collected in a relation, in your case perhaps a relation
of type=route.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is a route I added a few
years ago, the Iditarod Trail in Alaska. It mostly runs through
wilderness but in a few places it follows a logging track or residential
street. In this <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/gc37r22nckiuh7n/Iditarod%20section.JPG?dl=0">screenshot photo </a>there are three distinct sections,
one on ice, one is a footway, and another on a residential street in
Takotna, Alaska. They're all part of the Iditarod National Historic
Trail route relation. These coordinates will take you there: 62.988273,
-156.0584131</div><div><br></div><div>(You can download the photo to your computer for a better view)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps</div><div><br></div><div>Dave</div>

on OPM using iD editor to map out Cross-Country ski trails. Issue is
that many ski trails use Forest Roads. Not sure what steps I need to
take to avoid superimposing. I have gotten the idea that I need to split
the way. <br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Any possibility that you could direct me to an example with a hiking or other trail.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Please direct me to another group if the subject isn't correct for here.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Thanks in advance,</div>Kevin</div><div><br></div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
