I added a missing section of Sustrans ncn_65 North of York today. Things were rather messy around there, and in some places still are, so a local might want to do some tidying up (I blame NPE maps). It doesn't look quite right in places, and detail needs adding in some areas (lots of passing places need adding) However, the gap between North York and Alne has been added in which will look nice when it renders. The gaps further north are too far for me to get to in a day, I may be convinced into making a special visit on a tour up that way though.
Also, how does one map a road which is signposted as "unsuitable for motor vehicles"? The road is a standard country lane, and was actually better condition than some of the "suitable" roads I rode - I suspect it is signed as unsuitable to try and get traffic to go the other way in order to ease congestion.
Finally, I paid a visit to the National Railway Museum whilst there in order to do some research on disused lines near Bradford. I didn't find an out of copyright map like I was looking for, and nobody seems to know about the particular line I am interested in. I suspect it isn't actually a railway line then, I shall have to return at some point.

I asked the same question about "unsuitable for motor vehicles" on one of the email lists some time ago I think, and never got an answer. Your question made me reconsider now I've a bit more mapping experience, and I've decided to tag the way in question motor_vehicle=unsuitable (though unsuitable as a value is not in the wiki), as it is sort of an access restriction, but more of a guide than a rule.
osm.wiki/Key:access
The way I wanted to tag is actually used by lots of motor vehicles, and some have the clearance not to catch the bottom of their vehicle on the hump where the road changes angle suddenly as it crosses the railway line.

Maybe a road that's unsuitable for motors is a track, with a suitable surface?

Chris - If it really was unsuitable for motors then yes, a track is the solution. However, it was better quality than at least one other road I rode along.
Ed - motor_vehicle=unsuitable sounds like it's the solution, I was also thinking about the designation key since it's not actually unsuitable it's just designated as such.

I was wondering about cycling NCN 65 again to complete the section of Thirsk to York. Thanks for doing it for me.
North of that I found signs hard to follow.
