I agree that I was very surprised to see that amenity=weighbridge is documented
in the wiki. I also don't like the idea that it is a some kind of highway, so man_made=weighbridge seems to be the new favorite. ________________________________ Von: Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com> Gesendet: Donnerstag, 29.

And status=in_use? less than 400 total. Besides several different spellings like amenity=weigh_bridge (8), weightbridge (3) ,... and other similar tags like amenity=weigh_station (21) ... I've found several nodes or ways tagged e.g. highway=weigh_station (60) highway=weighbridge (9) man_made=weighbridge (44) man_made=weigh_bridge (6) man_made=weighing_scale (4) man_made=weighting_machine (1) and further spelling variatons. Of the above I would prefer man_made=weighbridge Can be applied to railways, highways with equal ease. And yes both railways and highways have them. A weighting scale, machine may be for postal items, personal scales... a weighbridge is for vehicles. weight_sensor=yes (1) weight_bridge (1) I would think the critical things would be the weight limit and the weight resolution. Not what kind of sensor is employed. I guess most of them describe the same thing. It would be great to have a tool which allows to contact all mappers that used the different versions and ask them to check if the most often used tag is matching. Do we have a tool like that ? If not, would it be welcomed? Need to be careful not to support spam! Other than that .. yes, would make contact easier .. but a discussion page would be better rather than private emails?
