As a result of this discussion I would like to add a clarifying paragraph on the corresponding wiki page. The core statement is: "To avoid these ambiguities, some tags are in use to specify the width of different elements: ..." See the Talk Page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:width#.22width.22_on_streets.2Fhighway
Maybe someone has time and motivation to make a proposal(?) to directly define "width" in these cases. Since there are different opinions on this, I would leave it at a clarifying paragraph for now. - Alex - Am 14.09.20 um 20:34 schrieb Supaplex: > Hey all, > > again and again there are discussions about which parts of a street > (sidewalks and cycle paths, parking lanes, carriageway) should be > considered when determining the width of a street.
