My neighborhood abuts a property owned by a business. The business property has another neighborhood on the other side. A local public street dead ends into the quarry property and the street picks up again in the neighborhood on the other side. The business let access to the property for years with a path that connected the two ends of the public road and a couple of walking paths branching off the connecting path. The business recently put up signs declaring “no trespassing. private property” after there were complaints of people being out on the trails at night with four-wheelers. I edited the attributes of the paths on that property to set “access: no”, but I’m wondering if the trails should (and could) actually be deleted from OSM? This is the changeset: Changeset: 166413042 | OpenStreetMap I’m completely new to OSM, so apologies if I did this wrong.

Hello & welcome to OSM!
Strictly speaking, they could be done as access=private, working on the idea that the owners are still allowed to use them, but =no is also fine.
Good work!

This topic comes up pretty often, so there’s two OSM Wiki articles about it:
