Re: [Tagging] How to tag the width of a gate

That not what the wiki for maxwidth says: " a width limit for using the way" - no mention of whether it is a legal restriction or not. And in the discussion of maxwidth "width restriction can be physical, or purely legal" //Mike > Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2012 12:26:05 +0100 > From: dieterdre...@gmai

Re: [Tagging] How to tag the width of a gate

IMHO a physical restriction is as important as a legal restriction. If I have a wide vehicle and I was using routing software using the OSM database it would be useful to be able to put in my vehicle's width and then the routing software could parse for maxwidth as a restriction along the rout

[Tagging] What is this path surface called?

Re: [Tagging] What is this path surface called?

I think the "tarp" is a horticultural membrane designed to stop weeds growing up through the path. The "mulch" looks like debris that has fallen from the trees rather than anything applied deliberately. It's difficult to see from the photo, but it looks like the original path surface material w

Re: [Tagging] How to tag the width of a gate

I agree that maxwidth=any_number should be interpreted as general restriction without discrimination. Generally I'd like to see a clearly distinctive tagging of legal (am I allowed to) vs. physical (will I not get stuck) aspects, but that is much broader issue than maxwidth. maxwidth might actually

Re: [Tagging] How to tag the width of a gate

I must admit that I haven't checked the wiki. The thing started with warnings by JOSM that said that I should not apply width to a node. I checked tag info and that confirmed that the use is sporadic only. To me width fits perfectly to a node of type barrier like a gate or a cycle barrier Volker

Re: [Tagging] Public land mapping

I agree that boundary=protected_area seems to be the best fit so far. However there's really no classification under "protect_class=" that fits the bill. I'd almost like to see #27 added under social-protected-area http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area#Social-protect

Re: [Tagging] Building tag, "building typology" vs "current function"

I'm in favour of typology, no need to change (function is already tagged with amenity, shop, office, ...). "house" and "apartments" are hardly different functions, but they are different types. cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetm

The value for building key should be the type of the building, not its current use. A church remians church even after islam takes over and its used as a mosque or vice versa (Pécs). Villa is different from apartments or bungalow, but all are usually used for residential purposes. There are poly-fu
