[talk-au] [EXTERNAL] Re: Low quality road classification

[Ewen Hill]

Hi Oisin,
  Thank you for your reply.
   This relates to 1609 unclassified roads out of the 2603 additions added
during this period  and I believe 1497 "roads" (status=200*) are in fact
farm tracks and driveways and are on the Government dataset as part of
emergency service mapping support rather than being a road and the best
approach is as follows. There are 39 entries (status=255*) that require
manual edits. I do not believe these are gazetted roads at all.

highway=service
service=driveway (A driveway is a service road leading to a residence,
property or place of business (Wiki))
access=private
Some examples are ...

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/954868318
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/954877319
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/955216220

* From the table provided

There maybe some exclusions where there are Right of Ways (ROWS) or where
livestock are allowed to use the corridor. These will be infrequent and it
would be improbable that these could be identified remotely.

I suggest that rather than re-editing each entry, that the team perform a
bulk update of the 1497 roads and review the others manually. The additions
your team have performed do improve the map, we just need to finesse this
now. I will report back on the other roads created when time permits.


Regards

Ewen
