[Osmf-talk] Tagging standards

 > Japan has local rules that _require_ a very rough mountain path near
me, impassable by any vehicle

In France we came recently to "départementales" ("roads" managed by the
Département (= Prefecture in Japan) mapped as track or even path.

This was correct indeed: for historical or obscure reasons they were
probably roads, aren't any more and haven't been given to the commune
for local management.

So on the map you see the reference of the road (D *, not C *), so the
"status" but the description of the way is made according to OSM standard.

The way to go for Japan? Thanks to the ref they will be able to map the
Japanese way and others will do it the usual way, having a normal map.

So there is NO need for Japan to misuse highway tags, they can map
properly and have their funny/traditional maps based on OSM.
