It is true that we tag what we find 'on the ground'. on the other hand, it's also true that we don't leave abbreviations. St-Pieters becomes Sint-Pieters, A. Fierenslaan becomes Alfons Fierenslaan, if we can find out what the A. stands for, at least. All that to say that I'd prefer to see Buurtweg xx or Voetweg yy, even when his municipality decided to deviate from how it's done in the rest of Flanders.<br>
<br>As for highway=minor, I like to use it for asphalt/concrete roads where only one car can pass at a time. I probably started doing that because they actually get rendered narrower than unclassified, whereas setting an actual width on an unclassified has no effect. So, as long as they get rendered, I wouldn't call them deprecated. Of course, we shouldn't be tagging for the renderer... sigh. I wasn't aware that it was deprecated though. JOSM with all its validation doesn't complain about it. It only didn't make it as a replacement for unclassified.<br>

</div>The signs in his municipality show it like that. IIRC it's something like this<br>
over there:<br>
<br>
VW13 | Blablastraat ><br>
<br>
But even then I would chose to write it out in full in the name=* tag like<br>
name=Voetweg 13<br>

</div>Do watch out linking to those translated pages, even the tags in the<br>
Netherlands can be different than in Belgium. And these NL:* pages were never<br>
revised for Belgian use.<br>
<br>
For highway=track: unlike what it says on that page, *ONLY* use it for unpaved<br>
roads. Anything with asphalt or concrete is either residential of unclassified<br>
(paths can be paved and unpaved).<br>
<br>
Furthermore: use track only if some vehicles on four wheels are allowed to use<br>
it (this means that a highway=path can be 10 meters wide if it has signs on<br>
either side preventing anything other than pedestrians, cyclists, horses or<br>
mopeds). So if residents or farmers are allowed to use it to go to their house<br>
or fields it becomes a track. But I agree that it's sometimes not all that<br>
clear.<br>
