Suppose there is a way of a few kilometers length, marked What should I have done in this situation?
I chose (3) at that time. But what is the right choice? Also, whatever I do, should I add a "fixme" tag describing the situation? Just to make it clear: this way has no intersections; it connects to other ways only at the beginning and end. So if it looks like a "track" at one end, it's probably the same at the other end. |

I would do 2. Perhaps even 1 when the aerial images show evidence that the complete road is a track. 3 is the worst solution IMHO. If everybody would do this, nothing will ever be updated, not ? So please split the way and mark the part you did as track. 1
I'd probably do (2) as well, and I'd also add a fixme to the remaining part of the way, perhaps explaining what you know - that you surveyed one end of it, and that was a track rather than a path, and that you think the rest of it might be too.

As SomeoneElse, but I might add a note ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes#Adding_notes ) rather than (or maybe as well as) a fixme, as the notes are generally more visible.

Just to add a fourth possibility - you've also got the option to ask the original mapper about the "path vs track" question. The easiest way to do this is probably via a comment in the discussion on the original changeset. Obviously it helps to ask a polite question rather than just bluntly say "I think you mapped it wrong", but the only way to find out if there's a valid reason for it being mapped as it is is to ask.
