Hello all,
in my endeavour to improve the mapping and tagging along waterways, I
noticed that there is no approved or documented tag for ladders along
shorelines. There is ladder=yes
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ladder), but it seems to be
meant for hiking paths and is only rendered o
Think about emergency doors, emergency steps and emergency paths
leading to them all along motorways. Sounds a bit exhaustive to create
a new emergency value for each one. An access restriction sounds more
reasonable.

So ladder=emergency?There are a couple emergency=ladders mapped in Germany for rescuing people who've broken into an icy lake. With plural though.Anne--Sent from my Android phone with WEB.DE Mail. Please excuse my brevity.On 06/08/2023, 13:40 bkil wrote:

Hello,
I have developed a proposal to indicate the availability of cell phone service
at nodes and areas, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Cell_reception.
There is currently no such usage of a tag or any related tags known. Please add
any valuable discussion on the wiki discussion p
This isn't really appropriate data for OSM, sorry.

Care to give any reasoning?

I thinks it's definitely valuable to map areas where there is no coverage
at all as it's a safety issue

The carriers (at least in North America; Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile...) already
publish these data. They are blocky, shitty, maybe slightly hazy or helpful,
but OSM doesn't chase what "they" say (already).
Just commented on the Forum, but I'll repeat it here.
There are too many things to take into account that may affect your
coverage - different networks, different phones on the same network, how
crowded any spot is at the time = how much demand, whether there may be a
good spot up that hill etc

While I don't disagree, that's not an argument for OSM. OSM's job isn't to
mitigate real world safety issues caused by technology. It

I don't understand how cell coverage isn
The reception you get depends on your phone: Android and iPhone use different
algorithms to determine bars from signal strength. Phones vary on which bands
they support, antennas, RF processing, etc., depending on manufacturer and age.
So cell phones are not very good for detecting how good a si
There's already services offered by companies like Opensignal to do this
automatically through apps. And they record actual signal strength data
that one cannot access by simply pulling their phones out.
Also, signal strength as a value that vary continuously over space is like
elevation or climate
