[talk-au] "Illegal", & "asked to be closed" tracks?

[forster at ozonline.com.au]

Hi Graeme

"Illegally constructed trail bike tracks", so
  possibly just tagging it as motor_vehicles=private, foot & bikes=yes, would
  solve it?

No, I don't think so.
Its a trail bike track so its probably too narrow for cars,  
motor_vehicles=private seems irrelevant
foot & bikes=yes, It sounds like the landowner didn't want the track  
constructed and most likely doesn't want any traffic at all. access=no  
is probably the most accurate.

Strava, glowing dull red cuts out the lifecycle prefixes.

I would probably tag it access=no and close it with a comment that  
removing it from the map is not a simple process and that the creator,  
Cormacticii probably should ask on talk-au
