There's also http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/type=advanced_stop_line which uses a relation containing the way approaching the ASL and the node of the junction of the ASL. With this method it's easier to determine the direction of approach to the ASL than just tagging a single node alone.

Can I gauge everyone's opinion on the following? We currently have four ways of representing a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_stop_line namely, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:cycleway%3Dasl https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:cycleway=bike_box http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/cycleway=advanced_stop http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/cycleway=advanced_stop_line (and maybe others?) These should probably be merged into one tag because they all refer to the same thing. There aren't very many of them in OSM right now, but from personal experience they're exceedingly common things in UK towns and cities. We can pick and choose the tag a little right now, given that it's not very well established. Let's not go with "asl"; abbreviations are generally bad practice. "advanced_stop_line" is bulky. "bike_box" is an Americanism, previously unknown to me. Personally, I like "cycleway=advanced_stop": it captures the forward position on the thing and the fact that it's a stop line, like the well established "highway=stop". Avoiding use of the terms "line" or "box" avoids concentrating too much on the physical form of the thing. I suppose it could be used with railway=* for trams, busway=* for buses and so on. Any other suggestions? -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
