[Tagging] How to tag: road in Luxembourgish park with unclear status
Dear all, There is some unclarity about how to tag the roads in Vallée de la Petrusse, a park in Luxembourg-City. Luxembourg seems to be less rigid in using traffic signs than, for example, Germany and the Netherlands, and relies more on common sense of traffic participants. However, this also means that some roads cannot be tagged unambigiously. The road through the Vallée de la Pétrusse, the green line on the following map, is an example of this. An explanation of this road, including pictures, can be found here: http://www.matthijsmelissen.nl/osm/vallee/ I wonder how (the segments of) this road could be tagged. In particular: 1) At which point should the tag highway=residential (or highway=service) change into highway=path (or highway=footway / highway=cycleway)? Note that the traffic signs do not make clear where this transition should be. So it seems the decision needs to be made based either on the road width, or on the actual use of the path. 2) For the final part of the road, would you use highway=footway, highway=cycleway, or highway=path? Which bicycle/foot tags would you use? At the moment, there is no clear consensus in the Luxembourgish community. Thank you for any input.

Road classification... such a difficult subject in many countries. For the part that inhabitants can use, highway=residential and access=destination. After, for me, the road is large enough for a car but motor vehicles are prohibited -> highway = pedestrian. Don't care about park maintenance. until picture 9. At this point, a car can't use it. highway=footway : a intentionally organized way for pedestrians. (opposite to highway=path for way that appears after repeated use by pedestrians but not intentionally made for). In booth cases (pedestrian and footway), bicycle status is not clear by default. Clear indication is welcome : bicycle = yes (assuming that the way is mostly designed for pedestrian). Photo11 : I never now if it is mostly designed for bicycle (highway=cycleway) or for pedestrians (highway=footway). segregated=no to indicate mixing of both type of users. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:segregated Eric ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] Status of building=stable
As the massive objection-storm has settled down a little I'll document that tag. ;-) Thanks to Martin and Alberto for their feedback. Martin 2012/10/17 Martin Vonwald : > 2012/10/17 Alberto : >>>You're right. I'll change the proposal in the following way: >>>a) building=stable, no building:use: looks like a stable, used as a stable >>>b) building=stable, building:use=: looks like a stable, >>>but used for something different >>>c) building=, building:use=stable: looks like , >>>but is used as stable >>>I assume, that the majority of who used building=stable in the past >>>meant "it is used as a stable". >>>Better? >>>Martin >> >> +1.
