Hi
This posting is partially related to a recent post I made asking about linking
field boundaries (barriers) to roads. I should add my interest is mapping
paths in the UK countryside so my comments relate to a rural environment. The
response I received seem to suggest not to linking the barrier to the road but
draw a boundary parallel to the road was the preferred method of mapping. The
suggestion to use the make parallel way helps with this. I am in effect
drawing boundaries (barriers) that could be tagged as a landuse area but am
choosing instead just to tag the "area" boundary as a barrier. I appreciate if
can look "messy" as you up the resolution near the road, which is why I asked
the original question but it would seem that linking to the road just causes
problems for future edits.
Landuse, residential, graveyard, farmyard, commercial are all useful tags.
Only recently I was able to identify a path as going though the graveyard of a
church rather than the adjacent residential area.
Regards
Dudley
