How were you planning to achieve this? Mapping streets (and other linear features) as areas has been discussed many times on the tagging list. See e.g. http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2010-February/001389.html There is still no consensus that I'm aware of for how to do this (though I personally think a possible solution is to represent a road as an area (for e.g. rendering) AND a way (for e.g. routing), and relate them with a relation). I would suggest bringing this up again (if you like) on tagg...@openstreetmap.org, rather than talk@openstreetmap.org :) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
