Hi! I agree with you, that abbreviations are usually not a good idea. But there are two reasons not to change this: 1) http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/hov 2) If we don't "like" hov we should also not "like" hgv. And I don't even start thinking about such glorious inventions like access:n2 - which of course is only documented on the german wiki and is "extremly intuitive".
The main reason why I want to clarify the usage of this tag right now is that I want to visualize HOV lanes in the JOSM style Land and Road Attributes. And I can't do this if I don't know how to interpret the data ;-) Best regards - happy easter ;-) Martin 2013/3/29 Andreas Labres <l...@lab.at>: > I don't have an opinion about the issue (trust you that we need it). > > But does the abbreviation "HOV" make sense?
