Hi there - a very fair question. I actually took them from Strava traces, and only mapped the strongest tracks. I don't normally map bushwhack trails (kind of goes against the whole point of bushwhacking), but the Strava traces were crazy strong, as if these were well-treaded trails.
To be honest, it bugged me afterward that I had added them - I know full well that seeing trails mapped where you want to bushwhack takes all the fun out of it. So based on all that, I'm going to pare them down right now...

Disregard - I added it back myself.

I respect what you're doing, but not how you're doing it. Way #978055205 was deleted by you an hour ago. Can you revert it back please?
It's a valid trail - it's the Tunnel Bypass Trail ffs, and you deleted the bypass!

It appears you're deleting trails that aren't recognized by the NPS?

And thx btw

The issue wasn't that it was 'primary', it was that it was 'primary_link', which won't even render until zoomed in for most data users.

Hey there - you changed the highway classification on NC 212 to "primary_link", which is the designation for an onramp/offramp or access road from another arterial way. I am changing this back to Secondary in a few places where I am mapping near the NC/TN border - can you do the same for the rest of this highway?
Let me know if you need more info or any clarification - thanks!

Hi there - just a note: Don't set the "access" tag to "no" (i.e. access=no) on a trail or road, unless the road is closed to all traffic! An 'access=no' tag supersedes all other access tags!
You effectively closed down the Appalachian Trail at the GA/NC state line where I'm currently mapping.

OMG - you took care of the 'disused:railway=rail' tags for me on the Murwillumbah rwy line! Thank you! That was a brainfart - only remembered after I had already gone past Byron Bay. Thx again!

Actually - Elaroo Rill was on the DCS basemap, but the 2 others were mentioned on a blog post referencing the 1:100,000 NATMAP for Penrith, and I confirmed their existence on geoscience.gov.au.
But yeah - that basemap IS great!

Mike - I suspect that trail is now a disused:highway - both ends obscured so hikers stay off it, but still a visible trail in the middle. I'm firmly in the "map what's there" camp, and not in the "NPS/USFS doesn't want this trail used so don't map it" club. *grin*
I agree - many of those fords are probably bridges or culverts. I usually map ford for paths unless I can see what's going on - sort of a 'fail-closed' approach.

On the last point - that's interesting. I've been bugging Mapbox about their water pipeline - waterways and water polygons are currently frozen, with months of changes unapplied. Supposedly they will have the new pipeline rev in mid-August.
Does Mapbox have a mapping team working on National Parks right now?

AGGGGHHHH! No excuse - I was in a hurry and did some sloppy tagging.
1) That was only supposed to apply to way/310456812. The Mill Creek Trail was routed along there, I can see a cutline that marks the trail, but there's no Strava traffic at all. I tagged the visibility before realizing that it was part of the arterial trail, and then forgot to take off that tag from the arterial.
2) Sloppy of me. Not sure why I did that at all.
Both issues are fixed.
Thx so much for spotting both of those issues - greatly appreciated!
Greg

And apologies for any snark I may have thrown at you. :)

Yep - agreed. We're really on the same team here! I appreciate what you're doing in RoMo - I've run into so much bad/sloppy mapping lately, it's refreshing to see someone who knows what they're doing!

I found it - way #180642376. Guilty as charged.

Yes - the section is talking about bare 'highway=path' ways, and that explicitly tagging access is better than just a one-tag trail.
Look - I'm not removing any of your tags that you added (and for the record, I don't actually see that I removed tags from the Flat Top Trail) and you can tag away to your heart's delight. I'm just saying there are others that may remove tag bloat further down the line.
At least you're not one of the over-taggers that literally has 20 tags for a single trail.
motorcycle=no
ATV=no
roller_skates=no
submarine=no

First table, "Default", 4th row from bottom.

And fyi, general consensus is that dirtbike and ATV trails should be tagged as track.
I know that's not always followed, but hey... it's OSM: Always on the verge of chaos!

First sentence of the wiki, emphasis mine:

highway=path is a generic path, either multi-use or unspecified usage, OPEN TO ALL NON-MOTORIZED VEHICLES and not intended for motorized vehicles unless tagged so separately.

If a trail is *meant* to be a walking trail, and other non-motorized use is discouraged but not explicitly allowed, you can tag 'foot=designated'.
