<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>When this issue was last raised on the mailing list, I suggested the following tagging schema.</p>
<ul>
<li>highway=rehabilitation</li>
<li>access=no</li>
<li>informal=yes</li>
<li>rehabilitation:highway=path</li>
<li>source:access=parks agency name </li>
</ul>
<pre><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">As has already been raised, deleting these tracks will only result in them being remapped at a later date. It should be recorded, in some way, so that the illegality of the path
is stored. It's primary use is land being rehabilitated, secondary to its illegitimate use.<br /><br />By indicating that the land is not a highway, but land undergoing rehabilitation, the track would:<br /></span></pre>
<ul>
<li>not be displayed/rendered as a path (at least initially, until a new rendering was introduced)</li>
<li>prevent mappers from remapping an illegal, deleted path</li>
<li>provide details about the source of illegality for later ground truthing. (a check date tag could be added as well, if needed).</li>
</ul>
<pre><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">Thoughts?<br />
Dian</span></pre>

<div>& this is the big thing. Rendering needs to show that this track shouldn't be used. Maybe access=no gets a big red X across each entrance to say "closed". </div>

<div>Possibly a description would be better than a note, because they carry across devices, rather than only being seen on OSM itself? </div>
