Talk:Tag:surface=pebblestone

Gravel description as "angular/crushed" is incorrect

The page defines surface=pebblestone as rounded "unlike surface=gravel, which is produced by crushing larger rocks and has sharp edges." This is factually incomplete: bank run gravel (naturally deposited river-pit material) is also rounded, yet is correctly tagged as surface=gravel or surface=compacted. Angularity is a property of crusher run on Wikipedia specifically, not of gravel in general. The actual distinction is source and use context: pebblestone refers to beach- or riverbed-surface stones used at or near their natural location; gravel and compacted cover both angular crushed and rounded pit-run material used as a deliberate road construction input. The description should be corrected to avoid implying that surface=gravel is exclusively angular. julcnx (talk) 07:20, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

Lead image should show a clearly pebblestone surface

The current lead image shows what appears to be a compacted surface with sparse rounded stones on top. This is ambiguous: a mapper surveying such a road would likely tag it surface=compacted or surface=gravel, not surface=pebblestone. The lead image should show a surface where rounded loose stones are the dominant character — a shingle path, a beach-stone track, or a driveway clearly covered in rounded pebbles — so that the defining feature of the tag is immediately obvious. julcnx (talk) 13:35, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
