[talk-au] Wiki Clean Up Progress Update

[Kim Oldfield]

Hi Dian,

Some questions and comments.

Are all toll roads highway=motorway? All the ones I know in Victoria 
are. If so, we should add tollways to the description of highway=motorway


    "Construction and maintenance of paved roads in profoundly remote
    areas is both practical and uneconomical"

Should that be "impractical"?



We should discourage the vague surface values of "paved" and "unpaved", 
instead using more specific tags like asphalt and compacted. Can we 
replace the example with something more specific than "surface=unpaved"?

surface=gravel has it's own problems given the common use in Australia 
is different to the wiki description. I'm not sure the best way to 
address this.

Should we talk about pipestems in driveways, given recent discussions on 
this list?

Unnamed Roads should use "noname=yes" and not "noname=*". That's 
probably what you intended, but may not be obvious to someone 
encountering the noname tag for the first time.

Regards,
Kim
