[talk-au] When is a Road a Track

[David Bannon]

Do you mean without seeing them yourself Warren ?  I personally think 
that you should only correct another mapper's work if you have 
personally seen something that needs correction. I am sure there are 
some exceptions. But here, in particular, you seem to have "negative" 
information.

Its also worth remembering that highway= indicates the purpose of the 
road or track, a number of other tags indicate its condition. In theory ....
