Re: [Tagging] Foot / sidewalk access tagging

I'll try to answer the original question as succinctly as possible. As I understand it, the combination foot=no + sidewalk=separate means walking is not allowed at all on this street and the sidewalk belonging to this street is mapped as a separate way. Since the sidewalk belongs to the street, f

Re: [Tagging] [Talk-us] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

Lots of good discussion here. We seem to be split into two camps: 1. Those who think an airport specific, verifiable, subset of of tags would be best 2. Those who think a general importance tag with numeric values would be best Both have benefits and drawbacks in my mind. Either way

Re: [Tagging] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

Does anyone see a problem with simply using the same admin_level tag currently in use with boundary=administrative, in combination with aeroway=aerodrome? A new aerodrome_importance tag could be created, but admin_level is already in use so why not make it multi-purpose. All we'd have to do is co

Re: [Tagging] [Talk-us] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

I also have not seen runways tagged as nodes, but I have seen many, many nodes tagged as aeroway=aerodrome. You're right, probably many of these could have their runways traced from aerial imagery, but I've also seen quite a few where I could not make out a runway. Now this is either because the

Re: [Tagging] [Talk-us] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

Classifying by runway length does make some sense to me, but I really have no idea how Mapnik or any other renderer works. Not sure if this would in fact be easy or not. It also means a renderer needs the runway tagged as a way or polygon in order to make a decision. What is a renderer to do wi

Re: [Tagging] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

Steve, I like this as a possible solution as well. Perhaps the admin_level tag could be used? Same as for boundaries. The challenges in my eyes are not making the tagging scheme overly complicated, and making if verifiable based on physical characteristics. In my opinion OSM only needs three l

Re: [Tagging] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags?

Thanks for the link, Dave. I've though about similar classification schemes to what's listed there. Something like this in decreasing importance: aerodrome = international aerodrome = regional aerodrome = local The problem I see with this terminology is that it's more subjective, and it's harder

Hi everyone, You may or may not know that currently in OSM there is only one [rendered] tag to describe the many different types of places where planes can take off and land (aeroway=aerodrome). I'm trying to figure out how we can tag tiny airstrips and gigantic international airports differently
