Don't disagree on this. more important we should do more cleanup on the
broken data. TIGER import has all these old roads or tracks as residential
where today it's a track in best case or doesn't exist anymore. Instead of
trying to interpret these areas as no access for vehicles we should try to
fix the data itself. In the desert areas Yahoo areal helps but in others
only on the ground check or comparison with park maps can help.
