[talk-au] Unauthorised bike trails in national parks

[David Clark]

I lean towards mapping what's physically there, so if the trail exists I
think it's ok to map it if you want to.


If the trail is blocked by a fence/barrier and signage saying keep out
etc, then I think access=no would be appropriate as it's facts based on
what's physically there.


I also default to "If in doubt, leave the map as it is". So if someone
has mapped something and I'm not really sure of any changes I'm thinking
of making are correct, then I leave it alone.

Anyway that's just my thoughts.
