[Talk-GB] Advice please: Goat tracks in mountain areas

[Martin Wynne]

All these suggestions for tagging such paths are fine.

But they are not going to prevent the Strava algorithm from detecting 
the route as a public highway, which was the original request. I have 
seen Strava routes go straight through barriers marked as brick walls, 
so a hazard=yes tag isn't going to stop them.

The only way to do that is to put a gap in it, so that it becomes two 
dead ends instead of a through route. Or else remove the highway tag 
entirely.

There must surely be a short section of it where it becomes very 
indistinct on the ground? If not, perhaps you could create one on site? 
You can then remove that section from the route - no such path exists. 
If the path is a genuine hazard to life and limb it would be a laudable 
way to spend an afternoon with a shovel.

cheers,

Martin.
