Hi!
Please look at this cs discussion: http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/50142974
I don’t like the tag because it
a) doesn’t give a hint if the road is very old and still usable or maybe not even visible because it was razed centuries ago
b) is likely to be used by routers, which seems to be unwanted even by the mapper
I assume there are many such roads in the UK, what is the common tagging?
I watched talk-gb over the last days, there is also almost no activity compared to the german forum. So I think I’ll try different ways.
Feel free to post a link to this thread.
