[OSM-talk] Tagging an abandoned path?

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hi,

Wondering if there was a consensus on tagging an abandoned, no longer very usable path (e.g. a path which has become overgrown or is unclear and prone to flooding in wetter periods). Something like "path=abandoned"?

There's a case like that near where I am in which a path was mapped in the early days of OSM but has now fallen into disuse. It isn't an official path, just a minor path through some woods on land with public access. My gut feeling would be to tag as "path=abandoned" to signal that it isn't really usable as a path anymore (so that renderers and routers can warn the user about it or even ignore it, for instance) but just wondering if anyone else has come across this situation.

Thanks,
Nick
