Hello,
a new sac_scale value has been introduced last year; maybe support could be added for sac_scale=strolling? At minimum as an alias to hiking.
Thanks!

Hi,
thanks for mentioning that.
For me it’s like that sac_scale=strolling is more like sac_scale=hiking has been split into two values, with now smoothness included (which is an already existing tag). Existing sac_scale=hiking would be quite often now sac_scale=strolling…
So yes, adding as an alias to sac_scale=hiking is reasonable for me.
Best regards,
Tobias

I added strolling to “T1”
IMO it makes no sense to invent a “T_none” or “T0” for this
However – this can be discussed of cause.

… looking at the overpass turbo it can be seen that a lot of these ways are simple flat ways in parks, even within citys between houses. Just simple footways, no T1’ones no T_anything …

I know that such silly mapping is not our fault and I like the idea having “proofed harmless ways” instead of not_tagged ways in the mountains – question is how to proceed ?

For me T1 are also “proofed harmless ways”. In many alpine regions path difficulty on trails marking starts at T2 anyway. So strolling and hiking are for me more a confirmation that no difficulty is to be expected than just difficulty unknown.

And this change was also to reflect that sac_scale is already used outside of mountains…
