Of course, what is art is left to everyone's guess and I'm trying to not enter this debate… :-) Maybe a way out is Wikipedia's suggestion that the term "craft" could be used instead of "art": " Often, if the skill is being used in a common or practical way, people will consider it a craft inste

[Tagging] Sidewalks and cycleways as tags vs as extra lines and StreetComplete

Hello, When mapping sidewalks and cycleways, it is possible to do so as tags on the line of the motorised way [1][2] or as standalone lines parallel to it [1][3]. When StreetComplete [4] asks users whether there is a cycleway in a street, it fills the tags on the main way. The wiki also says that,

[Tagging] Surface value for irregular, flat stones with variable gaps

Hello, In Brazil there are many streets that have a type of pavement which I'm beginning to think is rather unique. It is made of natural stones (granite, basalt, gneiss) cut irregularly but mostly flat on the top, arranged randomly with random gap spacing, usually 10x15x10cm. [2] The gaps are som

Re: [Tagging] Bad topology way level 2

There is a philosophy in some parts that the roads of a particular class should form a continuous network with other roads of that class or higher, with no 'dead ends'. So primary roads should link to other primary roads or to trunks or motorways. In UK terms, highway=residential is equivalent
