All the sluice gates I've seen are on the scale of 1m in opening size. A quick google image search also seems to only turn up small gates. I suppose there could be some large gates out there, so the proposal might need to include ways or even areas.
As for riverbanks, the ones I've seen are near riverbanks, but not actually on them. In the case of a sluice gate that is actually on the bank, you'd have a node that is shared between the small waterway (waterway=ditch or waterway=stream), the riverbank, and is tagged with waterway=sluice_gate > -----Original Message----- > From: tagging-boun...@openstreetmap.org [mailto:tagging- > boun...@openstreetmap.org] On Behalf Of Peter Wendorff > Sent: Monday, January 03, 2011 1:52 AM > To: tagging@openstreetmap.org > Subject: Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - sluice_gate > > Hi. > I'm not very familiar with waterway tagging, but AFAIK these are tagged > as riverbanks, too. > Your proposal doesn't say anything about how to map sluice gates at > these bigger rivers as it proposes the usage on nodes only. > > As sluice gates assumably will be more on bigger waterways, that seems > to be an important point to add for me. > > regards > Peter > > Am 03.01.2011 02:59, schrieb Paul Norman: > > I've set up a proposal for sluice_gates, which are typically found on > > small waterways in agricultural areas at > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/sluice_gate > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Tagging mailing list > > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
