If we consider the verse of the way, then probably a :forward vs. :backward specification would work. For example, if a way runs from South to North, a stop for northbound vehicles would be highway=stop:forward. Discussion will ensue about 1) the correctness of highway for such a node, 2) whether to apply the specification to the key or to the value, 3) protests from mappers who don't have a clue about the fact that ways actually have a verse. > My proposal is splitting the street in two highways with same name, same tags, > etc, each one being one-way and exactly the same nodes, with one of them > having an extra node for the Stop. This would be wrong, as in the current scheme of things a single way tagged with highway=* marks a carriageway. What you propose is only good for dual-carriageway roads. However, I would be in favour of constructing some schema to tag streets in a more detailed way. A closed way would mark the outline of the road (including the sidewalks), possibly using the technique described in the proposal for the area relation; linear ways would indicate a single lane (implicitely oneway), with tags describing whether the lane is for cars, trams, taxis, sidewalk or cycleways (or combinations of those). Of course these would be embedded in some relation. This would allow not only to tag complex situations (for example, where there are dedicated railways amidst car lanes with one-side-only parking), but would also simplify tagging of objects that only relate to one traffic direction (such as your question). > Thanks > > Noel > er Envite Ciao, Simone _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
