I recently purchased a laser distance meter, primarily for measuring road
widths so as to allow better routing for various vehicles. In the process, I
discovered that some roads can have a gradually decreasing/increasing width.
The wiki does not cover such situations, so I brought it up in the #
BLUF: I strongly object to changing width= from minimum to average.

I strongly object, because a data router that uses just width will
conclude that the way is usable when it is not. It is a basic
principle of tagging that data consumers th

I don't think it's a good idea as it break previous usage of this key :
width=* is about the minial witch for the whole segment.
if a router want to use it, it should be able to

I've always thought actual measurements should be added to an individual
node and the minimum width should be on the way, splitting the way at
significant changes.

This is an awesome suggestion. It allows recording as much data as
anybody wants to measure, and doesn
Thanks for the responses, everyone.
It's not too important to me that we use the median width for width=*, so if we
use width:start=*/width:end=*, we can continue using width=* for the minimum
width.
Tagging way nodes with width=* or width:carriageway=* was actually my first
attempt at a solut

Would you require in these cases that the road width is changing exactly
linearly
