they sell bus tickets:

Gravel/sand/clay come from river beds, generally. Quarries are when
you blast half a hill away.

I generally agree with this approach.
When buses and bikes share a lane, I'd probably stick to cycleway=lane
for the moment, or possibly cycleway=bus_lane.

place=island is used to identify noteworthy places that are isolated
enough to justify a label at a low zoom. Unfortunately, people started
applying it
HGV = Heavy Goods Vehicle. It seems to be broadly identical (give or
take a couple of tons/tonnes) with a US "truck"
so hgv=destination (or hgv=no) would seem to be correct
Feel free to add a note on the wiki that hgv is en-gb for "truck"

I'd take the view that "amenity" implies a degree of personal access,
so I reckon amenity=storage is probably sufficient rather than risk
unnecessary typos with underscores.

I'd be interested to see an example. Can you add nodes multiple times?

The Brussels cycle map (unfortunately only available in a print
version, as far as I can see) uses a coloured line on the right side
of the road for notably uphill (pink) and severely uphill (red). It
takes a bit of getting used to, but it conveys the information
reasonably efficiently.

I map both:
1) I add cycleway:left=track to the road
2) I add adjacent=yes to the highway=cycleway, so you know you can
refer to tags on the road if you prefer

cycleway=lane with a highway=cycleway alongside, or
cycleway=track (and just treat the lane as a bonus), o
The meaning and use of "designated" is confused and highly contested
in OSM, so I'd avoid using it for any other purpose.
I'd have said "carpool" ought to be a distinct value, not a key, if
you've got exclusive parking. Something like:
amenity=parking+access=carpool

Ah - now I understand it a bit better - you mean a pick-up location.
More a kind of bus stop for carpoolers. On that model I'd probably go
for highway=carpool on a node.

You'all are welcome to:
1) Make another proposal
2) Vote yes or no to the proposal as it stands
It's not appropriate to fine-tune the proposal during the voting stage
- you either approve or oppose it as it stands.
If there's an appropriate majority after 2 weeks, I'll move it to
