<p dir="ltr">All roads should be mapped. </p>
<p dir="ltr"> The same would apply to Military Bases. Most of the time the public is not allowed on the Base. But there are times when the public is allowed on hunting ect where having the data would be useful.</p>

> Most forest service roads in BC are not private. They may be built by private logging companies and may occasionally be gated, but the majority are on crown land and are open for recreational use. Road conditions vary wildly and roads are often unmaintained if active logging is not in progress in the area.<br>

> Au Québec comme en Colombie-Britannique et sans doute dans les autres provinces, ce sont effectivement des routes publiques construites et utilisées principalement pour le transport du bois. Il est possible d'y circuer pour des activités récréatives telles chasse et pêche. Cependant, les camions remorque lourdement chargés roulent vite, au milieu de la route et projettent des cailloux. ! La surface peut aussi être inégale. Plusieurs utilisent des véhicules 4x4 jugeant trop risqué d'utiliser une voiture.<br>
><br>
> Il est difficile de classifier ces routes, de décrire l'état de la route et les risques associés. Des contributeurs à distance avec un projet Maproulette n'auraient pas l'info adéquate pour classifier ces routes et y ajouter les clés adéquates pour décrire l'état de ces routes.<br>
