[talk-au] How to label illegal tracks?

[Eon4wd]

Hi,

This is my first time so not exactly sure of protocols and procedures.

 

I have been out mapping in my area by survey.

I have particular interest in 4wd tracks and bush camping access.

I have some questions that I am not sure how to handle

There are a number of tracks marked in bushland. I assume most by people
looking at Bing.

I am not sure how to reference or if there is an id system but one example
is at the following lat and long

S37.752339

E144.075093

 

Most tracks in this area, as labelled 'highway=track' in OSM, are formed by
motor bikes and are only suitable for motorbikes.

There are signs up saying that all vehicles must keep to formed roads. If a
motor bike was caught by police on these tracks they would be fined.

Cars can not fit on these tracks. They could be used by mountain bikes or
walkers but not very suitable for either as the motorbikes have created the
track because of the challenge ie over a disused mullock heap from an
abandoned mine.

 

As I see it, these should not be listed as a track. But do I delete them? Or
label them as something else?

 

Thanks for your help.

Ian
