Re: [Tagging] How to tag shared waterway highway

I would recommend drawing a separate “way” for the highway. I imagine that the route taken by vehicles or people walking is a few meters off of the center of the waterway, and perhaps a little straighter. If you are coarsest tracing the waterway and road, then the two ways might share most of their

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Mapping disputed boundaries (Version 1.3)

Thanks, Andy. I replied to some of your comments (which I also copied to the proposal's discussion page). So far as I know you're the first to publicly question the use of land boundaries, but as I fully believe in Keep It Simple, I'm happy to do that. It's not a major change, though I will probab

Re: [Tagging] How to tag shared waterway highway

There's two solutions: A single way tagged highway and waterway. Or two ways sharing some nodes or not, one tagged as a highway with an additional tag saying it can be flooded, and the other a waterway with an additional tag cause it can be dry, and another tag saying you may encounter cars on i
