Remove unpaived attribute from Off-road / Not maintained segments
An Off-road / Not maintained segment is unpaived by definition and should not have the unpaived attribute. We encountered navigation problems to destinations on such segments because of this attribute, so in Israel we don't allow to set this attribute. New editors are not aware of this problem, and think that they should set it to unpaived, and we have to explain it to them.
Please remove this attribute in this type of segments in the WME, and it will save a lot of effort.
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

I disagree with the suggestion. I think the problem is combining these two attributes together: "off-road" and "not maintained" probably should be separate attributes.
I would agree that off-road should imply unpaved - should be easy enough to set the unpaved attribute automatically.
In some jurisdictions "not maintained" could also mean that in the winter time the road is not plowed - that is a form of maintenance. It does not have to mean that the road is unpaved - it could be paved.
