Re: [Tagging] highway=residential road

Thank you Gerd, The incorrect tagging that you have picked up is by an inexperienced mapper that worked on a square in the tasking manager but has not marked that square as completed yet so no validation has taken place. An even more extensive error that has been done by that same mapper is to

[Tagging] tailor: craft vs. shop

Tailoring is certainly a craft to me, comparable to shoemaking, both in creating a new suit and making alterations/repairs. However, while craft=shoemaker is correctly documented in the wiki [1], (usage 2520), the tag craft=tailor was redirected to shop=tailor [2] a year ago. Currently craft=tai

Re: [Tagging] tailor: craft vs. shop

There should be both. a single artisan clothesmaker’s workshop - basically his office and workroom is his place of business. Just like an artist’s production studio and his gallery space may be separate, so may any artisan’s shop. I visit a yearly sale at a house that was converted into a pott
