Before I change these back, I wanted to check with the community.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Also, I would like your opinion on driveways (if they are mapped at all). My understanding is that they (at least the part between the public road and the house) should be tagged highway=service, service=driveway, access=private and not highway=track. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Mike </div></div>
