| Dirt Road / 4X4 Trail

A road that is physically impossible to drive by a normal sedan and should be avoided when possible. The routing server will also add a 3 hour penalty to such segments, so they will only be picked when there is absolutely no alternative available. All other regular dirt roads, that are still drivable with a standard sedan, should be of the ROAD TYPE Street with the Unpaved attributes checked

- Some satellite photos are shifted (in the wrong place) or out of date. Use the WME GPS layer to make roads in the correct place. Satellite and street views available from within WME may be used. Local knowledge may be used. External sources of information may not be used.
- You can always "add alternate name" to give a road more than one name. Use this when a road name has multiple ways to spell it, or when you want to add the road name in arab. This will not show in the App!
