...you come across a track whilst out walking, which "looks like" (from 20
years experience) a right of way, specifically a 'green lane' - an old road
lined by hedges but taking the form of unsurfaced track. There's evidence of
horse riders using it (hoof prints)
a) Blatantly infringe copyright by copying its status from an Ordnance Survey
map.
b) Copy its status from an online council rights of way map. Probably legal to
copy the status but maybe not.
c) Assume it's a bridleway and tag it as such, with an accompanying 'note' tag
- with a small risk of being hunted down by an irate landowner in case you're
wrong.
d) Assume it's a footway.
e) Don't put it in OSM at all.
I went with c) - comments?
