Re: [Tagging] How to tag sidewalk slides

I've run into a bunch of similar issues, where they just use asphalt to make an incline to the street level. I've been tagging them as kerb=lowered. It probably isn't exactly correct, but it does tell a wheelchair users that they can reach the street level. (Assuming the incline isn't too steep of

I the US we call them manufactured homes. They are trucked to the site, often split lengthwise into two pieces. Once on site, they place them on a foundation then remove the wheels from underneath. Most are relatively inexpensive to purchase. The real money make is the owner of the land that rents

I just parked in the Triangle Parking for the UW Medical Center in Seattle, WA. The first 30 minutes are free. They also have a flat rate after 5pm of $5.00 although it's not listed on their website. https://www.uwmedicine.org/uw-medical-center/campus/directions There are a number of parking lots

Dave, When you add a ferry route, route=ferry to a way it renders. You might want to tag the water route as route=canoe then create a relation that covers the entire route including the water portion and the portaging sections in the overall route? That the strategy used to map highway routes that

I'd like to suggest not creating a very specific tag like route=canoe, instead use something more general that would apply to more water crafts like kayaks, small boats, canoes, and rafts. route=marine_trail would be more fitting. Related tag could include motorized=(yes/no). Kayaking around my ar
