Hello,

Thank you for reviewing my edits.

I would like to clarify that the road sections I modified are located entirely within a private rural property in El Alto, Catamarca, Argentina.

These are internal agricultural tracks, NOT public roads. They are exclusively intended for private agricultural and livestock activities.

The property has physical entrance gates and clearly visible signs indicating private property and restricted access. Public access is not permitted without authorization.

I would also like to emphasize that the appearance of these private roads on public mapping and navigation applications is causing me real harm and ongoing problems.

Their representation on maps can mislead people into believing these are public roads, encouraging unauthorized access to private property, disrupting rural activities, and creating security and privacy concerns.

This is not merely a cartographic preference. It is a genuine issue affecting the peaceful use, security, and management of my private property.

My intention in removing these roads was to prevent further harm and protect the property from unauthorized access.

I understand that OpenStreetMap generally retains physically existing roads, even when access is restricted. However, I respectfully request that the private nature of these tracks and the negative consequences of their public representation be taken seriously.

I therefore request:

1. That these tracks be correctly identified as exclusively private, with "access=private" and appropriate agricultural track classifications where applicable.
2. That they not be suggested or used as publicly accessible routes by navigation applications.
3. That their removal from publicly displayed maps be considered wherever technically and legally possible.
4. That the existing gates, private property signs, and restricted access conditions be properly reflected in the mapping information.

I can provide photographs of the entrance gates and private property signs, as well as additional supporting evidence if necessary, through an appropriate private channel.

I kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation in finding a solution that respects both OpenStreetMap's mapping standards and my legitimate property rights.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards.
