I feel comfortable using the unit number as in the examples above. But I feel it gets more in the weed's when it comes to letters, such as "32a example Street" where I would probably not use the unit tag. What are your thoughts? Get Outlook for Android

If there is no formed track (but vehicles do use it) then I would think that highway=track or path, surface=grass, visibility=no, low, etc. and access=private, otherwise landcover=grass would be fine in my opinion. OSM is not a town planning serves it, it does not contain zoning codes or laws so

Regarding classing paint as a barrier, you wouldn't map a bicycle lane as a cycle way if it is only a painted line ( https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=285967329802439) but if there is a barrier (Kreb, Armco, parked cars, etc.) it would be mapped as a separate cycleway

I think addr:full=* sounds great as I can think of at least 5 examples where that can help off the top head straight away. And it probably works better with house names as name=* but that does result in it showing up on the render at specific zoom levels. I don't know if that happened with

I feel, as though discourage or discouraged is already an advisory term (you can't advise a recommendation if advise is a synonym of recommend). So I would think "motor_vehicle=discouraged" would be most appropriate. Just my thoughts. Ben On Fri, 8 Nov 2019 at 18:12, Luke Stewart wrote: >

Hi all, I've been tracing in residential swimming pools and I have not as yet found an appropriate tagging for the small poolside buildings that (from my experience); may have an area to get changed and to store pool-toys, chemicals and other pool care items. My current guess is just to mark it
