Living in a very detailed mapped city with tram lines (mapped per track) and even highway intersections falsely mapped per (turn-)lanes, I pretty aware of the problems. For railways these problems are only with trams (e.g. directly interacting with highways) except of crossings, and this problem is connected to the separate tagging of footways and other lanes. Railways normally are barriers which often are forbidden by law to cross but tram rails on a road are totally different. Using a relation for intersections/crossing, the only problem with the current tagging scheme would be with trams and the major concern is loosing the details (see http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-de/2013-March/101172.html). For me the easiest way would be to map highways per lanes and invent new tags for a street as whole which I could cross without problems (eg. we are inconsistant there too as one metre of grass is not really a barrier for me). This will probably never happen though. > I was only able to find what you described on a proposal page on the > wiki[1], but in the following form that seems compatible with my proposal: > > railway:lanes=|tram|tram > direction:lanes:forward=backward|backward|forward > direction:tram:lanes:forward=|both_ways|both_ways| > > > [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Doublewaytram.png > [2] > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/lanes_General_Extension/ProposalPreVoting That is where I stumbled over this problem, too. I did try to clean up some of the highways representing lanes but what to do with the separately mapped tracks and sidewalks ? cu fly _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
