Then there's the Californianism of throwing "emergency lane" into the mix to refer to a hard shoulder closed to traffic that would be allowed in other situations, like regular bicycle and foot traffic... ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

You can polygon in surface=* if you get ambitious, and there's also barrier=kerb and other similar tags, IIRC. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
[Tagging] Ranger Station Tag Update (too anglo-centric)?
The tag "amenity=ranger_station" passed the wiki hurdle. It is now a preset in the "iD" editor, and there's an icon proposed for Maki. The all-important pull request however is this one, to make it render: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/129 However one problem has come up. The JOSM maintainer Don makes a good point here: http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/9006#comment:5 What is the equivalent office called in other countries? Could this have been less anglo-centric with amenity=official_park_police_museum_information_permit_center or amenity=official_park_visitor_services building=yes rather than amenity=ranger_station building=yes ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Something like amenity=visitor_centre could have been a lot more generically useful. (With potentially a visitor_centre=ranger_station for applications that want to be certain they're dealing specifically with Ranger Stations.)
