[Tagging] Drafting proposal: use oneway=reversible or create tag?

2015-09-07 Thread David Marchal
Hello, there. I'm drafting a proposal concerning some waterways whose flow regularly changes direction, which happens near some sinkholes named estavelles, which drain or feed water according to the aquifer level. I would consequently propose a way to map it, but it should be consistent with cur

It seems that oneway:flow=yes|no is extensively used in Florida and oneway:flow=yes appears on most of the length of the Missisippi. I suppose it's used in the same sense as you want to use your proposed tag On 7 September 2015 at 17:29, David Marchal wrote: > Hello, there. > > I'm drafting a pr

I am need of a tag for this for many waterways near the sea here, as there waterflow is controlled by gates or is tidal or is both. I like flow_direction. However it's a tricky business. Take the river Thames, which can be tidal up to London, depending on tides (and wind). But I would be reluctant

[Tagging] barrier enforcing maxwidth

2015-09-07 Thread johnw
I was driving in Chiba and Saitama yesterday and encountered a couple new types of barriers. I realized later one is traffic_calming=chicane. The other one is all over rural Japan as traffic_calming=choker on rural roads that could bypass traffic near the rivers, - but this one is not for traf

I don't think a new tag is warranted. maxwidth=* is fairly unequivocal. If map users or routers want to interpret it as "max width, but probably not really, there's probably a bit of extra space, I mean, who's going to be that petty" then that's not your problem. Since most roads do not have a ma

Im talking about how to tag the barrier. That thing was **tight** and very unusual to find in a major urban area. The amount of scars on the poles was amazing. The hight restriction barrier (a common thing) is tagged along with maxheight - this barrier seemed to be the same - if you are over

So tag a short section of the road before and after the bridge with a maxwidth tag. It could differ from the maxwidth of the bridge, but routing software should determine the minimum maxwidth for any section of a route (and avoid or penaliseit accordingly). On 8 September 2015 at 14:59, John Will

I use "maxwidth" to map the max width road signs, which represent a legal access restriction, not necessaryly a physical acess restriction. I use "width" to tag the physical width of a road. If there is an object on the road that physicslly limits the width of the vehicles you can use the tag bar
