Hello, everybody.

I already saw tracks used for forestry, but not wide enough for tractors, only for quad bikes. As they are four-tracked wheels used for forestry/agriculture access, should I map this as highway=track, or should I use highway=path as the track isn't wide enough for traditional agriculture vehicles?

Awaiting your answers,

Regards.

There are all kinds of tractors and other forestry/agricultural vehicles. Some are large, some are small. If the way is wide enough to be usable for a typical motor car then I would use track instead of path.

I would opt for highway=track + width= or maxwidth=

I mark forestry access roads as either Service Roads or Tracks (when they can't be used by a small car - quads are different due to ground clearance) or Trails (when they are very old and overgrown).
