[Talk-ca] Canvec 7 and lanes=-1 / surface=unpaved

[Paul Norman]

lanes=* and surface=* are present in BC (e.g. 092G02)

 

surface=unpaved is wrong for the most part - they're generally paved back
lanes.

Hi Richard
AFAIK the lane=* has never been used in Canvec. I know that the
surface=unpaved has been used in the Canvec product as unknown value but
only in Quebec. Never in other provinces.
Cheers
Daniel

surface=unpaved tags on most roads imported from Canvec 7? I didn't find any
information on the Canvec wiki page. Do those tags stand for "number of
lanes/surface unknown"? Wouldn't it then be better to remove them with a bot
(at least the lane tags; with the surface ones it'll be tricky to
distinguish between actually unpaved roads and import errors). Sorry if this
is an old, already resolved issue -- I just couldn't find any information
about it and come across it all the time.
