That's correct. It's still important to mark the highway features with bridge=yes so that database users will know that the road or path is on a bridge. Drawing the man_made=bridge outline is a way to map the area and shape of the bridge itself, but it doesn't affect the rivers and roads around it.
Sometimes a layer tag is needed. For simple bridges this is not really necessary, though most editors prompt you to add it for consistency. - Joseph Eisenberg On Sun, Aug 23, 2020 at 10:24 PM Graeme Fitzpatrick <graemefi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > On Mon, 24 Aug 2020 at 10:30, Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Draw the bridge outline and tag it with man_made=bridge name=* and you’ll >> see what I mean. >> > > Thanks Martin - yep, it works! > > https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-28.13129/153.48123 > > Have just fixed a few of them in the general area & found one slight issue. > > Even if you draw in a bridge area, & mark it as layer=1, any roads / > footways running across that bridge also have to be marked themselves as > bridge=yes + layer=1, otherwise they will clash with the river / road > underneath, so the map will show a bridge running across the area of a > bridge. > > Does that sound right, or is it a hiccup of some sort? > > Thanks > > Graeme > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging >
