So for instance I've just added a track in Freshwater National Park. It's 
designated as a walking trail, but is really a 4wd track with a gate at the 
end. So I've added it as a Track, but tagged no motorcycle or motorcar, but 
said foot and bicycle yes. Sounds correct? In another area the tracks are 
often again wide enough for 4wd's, but fences prevent vehicular access so I've 
made them paths? Thanks,
