[Tagging] highway=raceway?

Hello, highway=raceway has recently been added to the Map Features page because it had been added to the Mapnik rendering rules a few months earlier, but there is no information available about the tag. Could someone who knows the details create a wiki page for it? Is it intended for motorcar

[Tagging] schools

2009-10-14 Thread David Earl
Because it is likely to be useful to my local authority in a real world project, I am considering adding some tags to schools to classify them, something like this: operator=Somewhereshire County Council school:level=early|first|nursery|infant|junior|primary|prep|secondary|tertiary|special|refer

I think I'd prefer school:type rather than school:status, and I'd prpbably separate out the denominations to another tag. And please avoid that mess of underscores in c_of_e - a recipe for typos if ever I saw one. Richard On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 8:30 PM, David Earl wrote: > Because it is likely
