[Talk-ca] BC Resource Roads

[Sam Dyck]

Resource Roads are tricky for me. They often have access restrictions and
may be closed and barricaded once a lease expires or a forestry block has
been replanted. (at least in Manitoba) I use either
highway=track
tracktype=grade3
or
highway=path
FIXME: verify accesibility by trucks and ATVs, may be blocked

Shows some logging roads I mapped a while ago. These roads will likely
exist as cutlines for 10+ years after logging operations have moved on, and
some roads will continue to be maintained by the government as fireguards.

Ultimately I don't think you can go wrong with highway=track unless you
know the road is barricaded to block vehicle access.
