Re: [Tagging] man_made=crane

As the tag for rails is really missing should it be man_made=crane_rail or man_made=crane with crane:rail=yes I would prefer the first option or some other tag as the second one might look like there are 3 separate cranes. About values of crane:type it seems like spaces need removing and the possi

[Tagging] sidewalk tag when mapped as a separate way

If a sidewalk is mapped as a separate way, what's the appropriate sidewalk=* tag for the parallel highway? What if there's a sidewalk on both sides, but only one is mapped separately? ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.ope

Re: [Tagging] sidewalk tag when mapped as a separate way

Put the sidewalk tag on the road, and put some indicator on the footway (I use adjacent=yes) that it's also covered by tagging on the adjacent way. The worst that happens is some router gets two parallel links in their network, or that some super-clever algorithm identifies two parallel sidewalks

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - man_made=billboard

Seems like it needs an operator= tag (e.g. operator=lamar) In many jurisdictions billboards need a local authority's registration number, and that number is prominently displayed on the billboard. Billboards without it are illegal

The proposed example value for the historic key does not seem reasonable. (nrhp:1231313) I suggest you have a look how the world heritage proposal suggests to handle reference numbers: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/heritage heritage:operator=* see below. Multip
