Forget the "smoothness" tag<br>
please. We might replace it by the 4wd tag (but it's only
a partial<br>
solution) or another passable tag (for city car, 4wd, mtb,
etc)<br>

<div>I don't think smoothness should be forgotten, it should
just have better values. Something like
smoothness=tractor/4wd/mountain_bike/city_car/road_bike/roller_blades<br>

For ways used by mountain bikers, mtb:scale might be better:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:mtb:scale">http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:mtb:scale</a><br>
<br>
It's a far better thought-ought scheme (by analogy with sac_scale)
and the images used reflect the descriptions. For example, I used
to live along something similar to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/File:Mountain-track1.jpg">http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/File:Mountain-track1.jpg</a> and it was
regularly used by all sorts of wheeled vehicles, not just the "Car
with high clearance, light-duty off road vehicles" suggested on the
"smoothness" page.<br>
<br>
An example that I did (see the "No tracktype would be appropriate"
section at the eastern end) is Long Causeway near Sheffield:<br>
