<br>I understand your proposal, but I prefer the keys that show us more information about the path. <span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span class="hps">I also think that</span> <span class="hps">grades</span> <span class="hps">can be used</span> <span class="hps">depending on</span> <span class="hps">subjective criteria</span> <span class="hps">very different</span> <span class="hps">and increase</span></span> <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Verifiability">verifiability</a> problems.<br>
<br>I'm sure that if keys like trail_visibility=*, smoothness=*, sac_scale=* or obstacle=* were rendered in the map would increase their use, and would increase the information of the paths. Perhaps the paths in forests -for example- could be rendered with more information, like in cities, where you can see more information: shops, bollards, traffic lights, trees, etc.. with some icons.<br>
<br>The nodes could be rendered with a icon, and the ways with an icon in the beginning  and another icon when the value ends (for example, one icon in the beginning of trail_visibility=bad and in the final of this value).<br>

Hi,<br>
I have wrote a proposition of classification for path.<br>
