Re: [Tagging] Fwd: [tagging] Canoe route / nautical channels

"Direction of flow" isn't quite right for a canoe route that crosses a lake. Also, it would be rare but not impossible, for a canoe route to move against the flow when traversing a stream. But, unless someone can think of a better way to word this, I'm okay with what's there. Such refinements can b

Regarding the proposal, feel free to try and apply it on your bus routes. And if you mapped say a hundred, you can even change the proposal's status and bring it up for a vote.

Re: [Tagging] Rivers intermittently navigable

My suggestion would be to map only the normal and the predictable. If it's usually not navigable in summer, "no @ summer" or something. If it's not really predictable, I wouldn't map it unless it's something dangerous like vulnerable to flash floods or lahars. Highways liable to getting cut off

Hi Tobias, why not use foot=use_sidepath and/or sidewalk=no? In combination with hw=primary/secondary, routers should be able to work out that that route is a bad one. Also OT the city should declare that tunnel a motorroad, or put up signs disallowing pedestrians and bicycle riders (and horse
