How would I tag a road that is not maintained for winter travel? It's not formally closed, it's merely got a sign that amounts to "if you get stuck in the snow or mud, it's your own fault".

There is already a similar question How to tag road that is not maintained in winter. Does this answer your question?

To say that the issue is a lack of snowplowing would be misleading -- none of the roads in the area are plowed. Looking at aerial photos and topo maps, I believe the issue is a low-lying stretch that collects snowdrifts in winter, and becomes impassibly muddy during spring snowmelt.

Hi read these pages, African roads tagging scheme, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa 4wd only=recommended http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines and special the 4x4 lines And have also a look at these pages, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access-Restrictions And yes they are not meant for snow but just for muddy tracks, but look for instance at the roads nearby in your or that region for similar tagging schemes. And remember that your allowed to make your own scheme or use your own tags.

None of your linked pages contains "snow" or "winter", I doubt this is helpful.

How would I tag that this only applies during winter, and that during summer, you can drive a low-clearance sports car on it with the only risk being kicked-up gravel scratching your paint job?
