[Tagging] Tag:bicycle accident=true

Someone added last night a unique contribution in the wiki about a new tag: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:bicycle_accident%3Dtrue If we believe taginfo stats, this key has not been used until now. The wiki page is also orphan. Is it a good idea to keep such tag in the wiki ? Should we de

It has a bad discription, it's a tag for a temporary feature (at least how I interpret it) and it didn't go via the voting process. So I would just delete it and point the writer to the voting process. Op 17 aug. 2011 11:39 schreef "Pieren" het volgende: > Someone added last night a unique contr

It's probably worth trying to include the original author of the page in any discussion. There's no wiki user page or talk page, but my guess is that it's this guy: http://bryankaraffa.com/contact/ Cheers, Andy ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@opens

2011-08-17 Thread Bryce Nesbitt
For charging stations it seems exceptionally important to define the plug style available. A charging station with the wrong plug is just as useful as a gas station offering only nuclear fuel pellets. The trick is to standardize on names for each of the various charging paddle styles, and al

In cycle planning in the USA the "bikes only" direction on a road is called a "contraflow" lane. My goal in mapping includes that the routers work (both the car and bike routers). Thus I have sometimes mapped the contraflow as a separate short little parallel bike path. It keeps the routers

That would be the two major drawbacks with the current proposal: A. No possibility to have several plug types at the same node. B. No clear way of sharing a node with amenity=fuel. A: The the same scheme as for "liquid" fuels could be used (i.e. fuel:e85=yes/no, fuel:diesel=yes/no, et.cet). Someth

For amenity=toilets there are lot of suggested attributes: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dtoilets But among them none would distinguish a pit toilet from a flush toilet. More importantly perhaps would be does the toilet have water and handwashing available. Some toilets may be

Hi all, A light rail stop, would that be a railway=tram_stop or a railway=station? I'm mapping the recently opened UTA TRAX extensions [1] and tagged the stops of the West Valley extension as railway=station, but now I see that existing stops are railway=tram_stop. I think a tram stop suggests som
