[OSM-talk] highway=track and motorcar=yes/no

[Nic Roets]

Using the script below I found 219469 tracks of which 202630 did not have a
motorcar= tag.

My reasoning behind gosmore was that tracks not suitable for vehicles should
be tagged as footway. It's flawed because we so many unsurfaced way types.
Perhaps we can adopt the following scheme ?

highway=track defaults to motorcar=no
highway=unsurfaced defaults to motorcar=yes
highway=byway defaults to motorcar=yes


bzcat germany.osm.bz2 | awk '/<way.*id.*timestamp.*>/ { print hway, motor;
hway=""; motor=""}; /<.*highway.*track.*>/ { hway="t" }; /<.*motorcar.*>/
{motor=$0}' |grep '^t'|sort |less -S
