highway=path and the associated access tags are the canonical example. highway=path was created to address perceived problems with highway=cycleway/footway, but in fact has made the situation less clear and significantly harder to process. Coupled to this is a proliferation of access values - from simply =yes to =designated and now =official. The result is that, in my experience, path tags are now the hardest thing to process in OSM. > What tires me, is the lack of any decision-making process which > is paralysing the whole business, and the lack of any (formal) > attention for the data quality. It isn't paralysing OSM. OSM continues to advance. OSM data quality continues to improve. The improvements are, today as five or more years ago, driven by people wanting their data to be used. The tagging@ list and wiki are "noises off" but very rarely change anything - indeed, the tagging@ list was expressly set up solely to get the noise off the talk@ list. It only paralyses you if you choose to be paralysed. :) Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/More-human-readable-values-for-traffic-signs-tp5857897p5858320.html Sent from the Tagging mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
