[OSM-talk] Out of Service Roads

[Jaakko Helleranta.com]

In Haiti we've usually taken a pretty clear map-it-as-it-is-on-the-ground approach.
* storm wipes out a bridge -- the bridge is deleted until a new is built.
* a road is damaged so severly that you can only walk it -- it's a path until fixed
* a slightly minor damage to the road requires a 4x4 or tractor to drive it -- it's probably downgraded to a track 'till fixed.
 
As always, one has to think if the damage (=change in the map) is long-term enough to justify mapping it vs. How severe the damage (/change) is / how significantly it impacts map (/data) usage, etc.

Cheers,
-Jaakko
