I can understand someone's logic in tagging your first example as a tunnel, but I would tag it highway=pedestrian bridge=yes covered=yes Or, if you didn't want to show the pedestrian way, just make it a building layered on over the highway. It is sufficiently different, functionally and architecturally, from the connecting buildings do that. For your second example, yes, I'd be tempted to tag it as a tunnel, since it doesn't seem to span anything. There are always the rare exceptions to every rule. But, I'd want to know more about its function and what, if anything it is attached to, before I did anything. It appears to be just sitting there with no purpose from the vantage point of the photograph. It certainly doesn't appear to be a covered bridge. If it is a covered rail station, then I would probably tag is as covered railway rather than a tunnel, assuming "covered" becomes an accepted property for highways and such. -- Randy _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
