Re: [OSM-talk] Can wikidata links help fight name inflation?

I find it odd that inaction, incapability or incompetence of local sign installers is a worry for a database of geographical facts, which OSM is. Some roads are hundreds of miles long, at what interval does it need to be signed for it to be considered signed. Beginning and end? Every 100 km?

Re: [OSM-talk] Routing on osm.org

Adding surface tags sounds more like an upgrade than an outbreak. Tagging for the router surely means that you are tagging roads based on their finer properties, single-lane or dual-lane, asphalt or gravel etc. Also if the road is less traveled it sounds like a no-brainer to tag it as

The new color looks even worse in non-garden areas where the new building color vanishes into the residential area background. Old and new colors in Kópavogur, Iceland: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vo7pyhsuciqlppq/z16.png?dl=0 Old color in Maun, Botswana:

Re: [OSM-talk] New building colour

Also none of the demos linked had Landuse=residential as background - the lack of contrast there as buildings merge into the landuse is my biggest issue with this change. However this seems to be a nice way of telling us to stop using that tag - you are not supposed to map for the renderer

I like addresses but they don't behave like you would think. For example we have a part of a street that has each individual flat as its own address number. We first used the number;number;number; approach but I'm now in favor of naming the house what it says on the front (the range 37-51) and
