Re: [Tagging] Layer and highway=steps

Hi Richard, hi Simon, thanks! The layer tag was already used widely, but I get that level is the one to use. I'll go through the tags, and add level. I'm working on a write-up of the discussion, as a kind of "case-study", see http://bjohas.de/wiki/Maps/Kings_Cross. I'll contribute this to the OSM

Re: [Tagging] Layer and highway=steps

Bjoern The layer attribute is only used for overlapping OSM elements to indicate their relative position ( indoor mapping should be using "level" (the SIT tagging scheme has already been referenced). In a pure indoor scenario I would consider layer unnecessary (JOSM will naturally complain bitterl

Re: [Tagging] Layer and highway=steps

The direction of the way was discussed a long time ago. Consensus was that it should be 'up' based on the convention of architectural drawings. It seemed as good a reason as any. That's all I have, really. Andrew On 2 Jul 2016 20:48, "Bjoern Hassler" wrote: > Hi Volker, > > My question does r

Re: [Tagging] Layer and highway=steps

Hi Volker, My question does relate to overlapping steps, see http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/h5F for context (King's Cross underground, London). Yes, layer rather than level. I'm thinking about accessibility, as well as ease of mapping. Suppose you are at a certain location, how do you determine what

Re: [Tagging] Layer and highway=steps

"layer" is not relevant here. The "layer" tag is only used to indicate the relative vertical position of the object with respect to other objects. So steps would only have a layer tag if they are crossing another way, but not connecting to it. To indicate the up or down direction of steps, you can

[Tagging] Layer and highway=steps

Hi all, What is the consensus on the layer tag for steps? In the direction of the way, steps should normally run uphill/upwards, say from layer=-2 to layer=-1. Should the steps be tagged with layer=-2 or layer=-1? Or both (using different tags)? Thanks, Bjoern _
