> what’s wrong with passing place? Seems to describe the same thing
I thought so too until I noticed that the Wiki says passing_place
is used for nodes only, using logic that escapes me, so I began
searching for another method. I also considered modifying that
definition so it includes ways but was reluctant to start that
battle even though that still seems a good solution.
I would be in favor of adding the possibility to tag
highway=passing_place on ways, there is already a tiny fraction tagged
on ways (although the percentage currently makes it clear they are
outliers). There's a general problem with using nodes for features
like these: they don't have a direction, so you can't state where the
widening takes place.
Passing places are not long.
Most of them are just long enough to squeeze in a car and caravan ... just.
You are supposed to come to a complete stop to let others pass in either
direction.
They are usually on single lane, two way roads.
So a passing place .. you have to stop in it. You cannot keep moving as
you would with any distance of extra lane.
For the lanes approach: I would only use this if the place has some
length (more than 5-10 meters you may typically find on a track) AND
if there are lane markings (general requirement for lanes).
Cheers,
Martin
