Ok I've changed route=mtb to mtb=yes for the trail itself. That fixes the issue I had with the route side of this so that's great.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Using this approach an mtb trail (singletrack) looks the same as a cycle path (paved commuter path). Is this correct?</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The area I'm looking at first is the Lynton Trails and Mitcham in Adelaide.</div>

Hi David,</div>
<div>
Where is this, btw? In general:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
- route=lcn are for bike paths that get you somewhere useful in the</div>
<div>
local vicinity. (We still debate exactly what LCN means in Australia)</div>
<div>
- route=mtb are for all mountain bike trails.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Don't get hung up on any connotations you might have with a word like</div>
<div>
"route", as a native English speaker. The benefit to using route=mtb</div>
<div>
is that they show up specially highlighted on mountain biking map</div>
<div>
styles, which is useful and appropriate.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So, for each trail, I would:</div>
<div>
- a route relation with route=mtb, and name=xx, and other tags as</div>
<div>
appropriate</div>
<div>
- tag the trail itself with highway=path, name=xx,</div>
<div>
surface=dirt/gravel, and add the route relation</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>

Hi All,</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I am interested in a small area of trails. There are about 10 trails in a</div>
<div>
local reserve, all the trails are sign posted and named etc, but there is no</div>
<div>
actual marked route you just pick which trails you want to use to get to</div>
<div>
where you want to go.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
However the tagging used in OSM to me seems wrong.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
(1)</div>
<div>
network=lcn</div>
<div>
Is this correct to use?</div>
<div>
Should there be other tags associated with this such as network:name=xxxxx</div>
<div>
etc?</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
(2)</div>
<div>
route=mtb</div>
<div>
All the trails are tagged with route=mtb. However there is no marked or</div>
<div>
recognised physical route associate with these trails. Each trails is short</div>
<div>
approximately 200m to 500m long so it seems to me the route tag is not</div>
<div>
applicable.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Etiquette:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
If the above tags are wrong, is it ok to just delete them? These tags have</div>
<div>
been used in this trail area and 2 others.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Thanks,</div>
<div>
