Tag:surface=fine_gravel

Tag history

Loose, small, not compacted gravel. surface=fine_gravel is often used in such cases.

Since 2011 it was described at OSM Wiki as having the same meaning as surface=compacted. Nevertheless, it was used for cases where small loose gravel was used as a surface - typically on paths and driveways with minimal traffic as this surface is not practical for roads with substantial traffic.
