[Talk-GB] Private tracks through a farmyard

[Jez Nicholson]

As correctly pointed out, OS are using Mapbox to display selected layers
from OS Open Zoomstack + OS Composite Greenspace + OS Composite Offroad +
Mapbox v8 + Mapbox terrain v2. The majority of the data comes from
Zoomstack making it approximately equal to OS OpenMap Local.
Paths are part of Mapbox Streets v8/road
https://docs.mapbox.com/data/tilesets/reference/mapbox-streets-v8/#road and
I don't believe that there are any data fields or types to distinguish
between private and non-private paths. The closest is 'street_limited' for
roads.
The stylesheet is at
https://config-web-standard.oscptiles.com/standard.json?token=3ccdd26ed2478c4c6557329522decf6e06a19a737929ca4d951e3cf2b19fba97d39e7432a989db83fd73f5f30e24ecfc8b012beb3c97bea5e03f4d85de5e7e42
It is not possible for a developer (i.e. OS) to exclude private paths or
style them differently....unless Mapbox include processing of
access=private across their worldwide OSM extract.
