Re: [Tagging] highway=footway - Advanced definition: Distinction footway vs path

`highway=footway` implies an access tag `foot=designated` `highway=path` implies an access tag `foot=yes` (but can certainly be overridden) “designated” is kind of a tricky concept, but it basically means something like: - there is a sign saying you can walk there - or something like a sign (trai

Re: [Tagging] Sidewalk Tagging for Routing

Current preference seems to be map sidewalks as separate ways tagged as `highway=footway + footway=sidewalk`. 1. As you mentioned, you can use sidewalk-specific tags (slope, surface) without affecting the adjacent highway. 2. The sidewalk and the road really are separate features. 3. New users l

[Tagging] Agreement on units and tagging for maxstay?

Re: [Tagging] Discussion about Multivalued Keys

Hmm, I think the semicolon separated tags are necessarily ordered. Jochen has it a bit wrong in the blog with his example about coincident highways. For example US 1-9 by NYC is tagged `ref=US 1;US 9`. It would be a mistake to treat that as equivalent with US 9-1, as it’s definitely not called

No, zoning is a way more complicated topic than most OSMers realize. Urban planning zones are even more arbitrary and transient than property boundaries. Every local government has their own unique zoning plan and the zones are never as clear cut as residential/commercial/industrial. FWIW I o

Hey James, (Disclaimer: I work for Mapbox, but I am not part of the team that is doing the lane tagging, and can’t speak for them). I do need to know more about your concern: Is `none` as part of a multiple turn lane option documented anywhere? I’m asking because we are adding turn lane ta

If you draw a “Hotel” in iD, you’ll see that it gets a `building=yes` tag added to it. (Users can change this if they like). Again, this is exactly in agreement with what the osm wiki page for `tourism=hotel` says to do. > On Sep 29, 2017, at 11:06 AM, LeTopographeFou > wrote: > > >> T
