Let us take the case that one is planning to explore a new region via foot using #OpenStreetMap data. Then what should be the first amenities that should be mapped?
The first amenities should be anything that inconveniences travel while being outside of one's comfort realm.

The least convenient for most is water crossings; anything from large bodies of water like lakes or rivers all the way down to ditches or wetlands.
Next would be either a man-made barrier like a wall or building or a plant matter wall like scrub.

Depending on the season farmland can be either more or less convenient than a forest. The same can be said for heath, grassland, or meadow.
Scree, rock, and sand depends if an incline exists as an inconvenience factor.

There are definitely much more examples until one gets to highways.
Although most highways are more convenient than the previous mentioned examples, one factor one needs to consider by them is personal safety factor.

Traveling on larger roads with no footway might be an option to move fast, though it can be quite risky if there is a lot of traffic.
Alternatively, there are less traffic heavy options like service, residential, track, path, etc. options. By these cases the surface can become an inconvenience factor like a muddy or an overgrown track/path.

In the off chance that one is traveling in dusk or darkness make sure to have high visible clothing, reflectors, and a headlamp.
These equipment suggestions should also be considered during the day, especially in hunting prone zones.
