2008/10/8 Philip Homburg [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I don't think this is about local interpretations. It is about having safe defaults. Agreed 100% Of course, adding oneway=no to all trunk ways that do not have a oneway tag can be done by a script. Clearly it could be - but it certainly

2008/10/9 Matthias Julius [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This leads to a nightmare. Those rules would need to be implemented in every tool that works with OSM data (and cares about oneway properties). It's a nightmare we're probably going to have to address at some point if we want to do good routing.

For trunk roads, it might be just a safe default to assume that the way is oneway, unless tagged explicitly as single-carriage (oneway=no). Another safe option is for routing application to ignore all motorway, motorway_link, trunk, and trunk_link ways that are not explicitly tagged as either

2008/10/7 Philip Homburg [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I think local norms are fine. However that requires a lot of localization work. But a global norm is better than a local one. Localization is likely to happen anyway when people start displaying speed limits. Or do you want to tag even the
