text: I've re-tagged a bunch of roads as "unclassified, gravel", and added speed limits to WA-272 and WA-27.  In the absence of a well-recognized "this road not maintained for winter travel" tag, there isn't really anything else I can do.
  
  The fundamental problem is that bypassing Palouse via Frazen/Olsen is two miles shorter than following the state highways, and when the roads are in good condition (which they usually are), it's considerably faster to take the 35 MPH gravel backroads than to go through town at 25 MPH.
