more mount doug (saanich, BC) mapping

Ive added some more tracks and highway=path to Mount Doug. .. so now its looking much better. Still not done yet, as there is more to map. .. this is fun :)

Anyway, question for anyone reading.

According to signs in the park, NO bikes are aloud on any of the trails. .. yet in a couple cases, the trail is wide enough for a bike.
Some sections that are easy are hard-packed gravel.. and some are dirt trails. and some (towards the top) are more challenging 'actual hiking' trails. .. as you kinda need to be fit, to climb it. .. or it would just take some time, as a couple sections involve a little rock climbing.

I know that for trail sections that are concrete slabs.. its man-made. .. and actual steps are involved. .. other parts are natural rocks, which are like steps.

So i think the rule for this is to tag it like this

highway=steps (for the man-made steps)
highway=footway (for the man-made concrete sidewalk)
highway=path (for the general trail which includes gravel and dirt and steep trails.

highway=track
tracktype=grade2

... ideas?

spoke too soon, i just checked the discussion.. and it seems that its almost subjective. .. leading me to go in and correct the Canadian page so it makes more sense. The tracktype=grades 1-5 are confusing. (not confusing for me, but yes for others) .. so i'll need to rework it. .. most likely showing usage.. and stating weather or not bicyles can use the it. .. generally speaking foot travelers go anywhere bikes go... and stick to the far right when on any surface. .. the purpose is showing if moter vehicles are aloud, horseback, ATV's, Quads, moter bikes.

My routing is generally geared towards staying with the same surface type.. and having it consistent all the way though.. imagining i was on that type of bike or human power, and what surface i would like, when there are choices.
