  1) Polygon vs point for Populated urban areas (place=city, town...):

 Hello, we talked about this problem in Italian list [1].
 We agreed that boundaries and places should not be confused because in
 general they refer to different things.
 We also agreed that tagging the urban area with landuse=residential is
 wrong
 in most cases because the urban area comprehends also commercial and
 industrial zones.
 We concluded that to maintain compatibility with places tagged only on the
 central node, it would be appropriate to maintain the tag place=* on the
 node and to tag the urban area polygon with a new tag.
 We created a new proposal for urban area tagging [2]: any advice is
 appreciated.


I've reviewed Sylvain's notes in the Talk page, and I hope I've addressed
them in a satisfying manner. I've also added more detail to the proposal.

Ciao,

Simone

 How would I go about formalizing this proposal? Do I need to make a
 proposal page? I'm not trying to add a feature, just to expand on one.


Since I've received no replies, I'll proceed to add the access value for
the enforcement key in the Enforcement Relation's wiki page. For the sake
of fairness, I'll add a note to the Talk page, and I'll wait a couple of
days before moving it to the main page.

As to the enforcement_device tag, I guess I'll have to make a proposal?

[Tagging] Exclusive access rights

2012-10-29 Thread Martin Vonwald
Hi!

I'm looking for a possibility to tag exclusive access rights. What I
mean by this is a way to specify that one specific vehicle is allowed
and everything else is forbidden. If I specify e.g. hgv=yes it only
means (at least in my understanding) that hgv are allowed there. I'm
not sure about the meaning of access=hgv: is this a valid tag? What is
its meaning?

I am aware of the combination access=no and xxx=yes, but I'm looking
for a nicer solution. The background of my question is the following
demand: specify that the rightmost lane (of three lanes) can only be
accessed by psv and hgv.
Right now I only know this solution:
vehicle:lanes=yes|yes|no
psv:lanes=yes|yes|yes
hgv:lanes=yes|yes|yes

Three tags for such a simple thing. What I'm looking for is something like this:
somenicekey:lanes=vehicle|vehicle|psv;hgv

If access=hgv means that only hgv are allowed, I could use that. But
as I wrote: I'm not sure if this tag is valid and if it is I am not
sure about its meaning.

Any hints/comments/recommendations?

Re: [Tagging] Exclusive access rights

2012-10-29 Thread Ronnie Soak
Try to see it from a data consumer point of view.

Let's say you are a bicycle routing engine and want to know if you are
allowed to drive here.
With the current scheme you see an access = no. so you assume you
don't have access.
Then you look if there are special permissions for bikes (because,
after all, you are a bike routing engine) and find nothing like
bicycle=yes.
So you know what to do: deny access.

With you proposal, you'll find no access = no (just a valid highway
tag). So you assume you are allowed there.
There is no other key for bikes. So how do you know bikes are not allowed?
You'll have to check every possible transportation mode, if maybe one
of them has EXCLUSIVE access to this stretch of road. Maybe psv? Maybe
hasmat? Who knows..
If you group this under a general key like exclusive_access= psv,
you'll at least have a chance (if something is listed, but it's not
bike, then deny access).
But you'll have to look for it for every d*** road there is, not just
those with access = no.

So in my opinion, there is no way around first specifying the general
case (access = no) and then the special case (psv=yes).

Actually I don't see this subkey vs mainkey-problem. There can be
objects with more than one main key without being a real problem.
You might also use advertising as an attribute (advertising=yes).

There are already 1269 advertising=billboard in the database (my guess
is based on this proposal) while the man_made=billboard (is this what
you are refering to above, right?) is marked obsolete
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Billboard and
seems to be an almost duplication of the advertising proposal (so I
agree that it is obsolete).

When thinking about the key, please also consider importance. How many
people do want all those advertising features in their db? Using an
own key will make it much easier to filter this out, compared to the
situation if we used man_made or even amenity for these.

In the case of a flagpole it isn't necessarily a subkey, it is
describing an advertising flag, while a flagpole is a pole (and could
have a flag attached or even not), but I am not insisting on this. My
main values are sign, column, billboard and screen and maybe
wall_painting (because there are some nice historic ones), the rest is
fine for me, but I don't care much (i.e. sculpture, flag) because they
don't apply to the areas I map (AFAIR they were added on suggestion
from other mappers or they added them themselves).


 Also, one parameter for billboards regulation is the size but also the
 elevation (at least in my country), which is missing on the wiki.


The size is not missing (there is a suggestion to add height and
width) and of course you could add ele as well.

Re: [Tagging] Exclusive access rights

2012-10-29 Thread Peter Wendorff

Hi Martin.
Nobody said you did. What has been said is that if you want to have some 
kind of exclusice access tag that in fact is a change to how the 
access tagging currently works.

Access tagging currently is:
-use access=yes|no to set a default
-add more details by adding access tags for any other modes of 
transportation etc.


So it's quite easy to tag an exclusive access for e.g. psv: access=no, 
psv=yes, and the default for access is common to be yes usually.


What you propose is in fact a change of this in the data consumers view.
You propose to have instead the possibility to tag exclusive_access=psv 
or something like that.


With that data consumers have to know your exclusive tag on top of the 
others, as now exclusive_access=psv would be a more or less short for 
access=no, psv=yes.
Data consumers who don't know or implement this will fail here, because 
they will use access=yes as their default fallback as usual, and don't 
know about exclusive_access=*, so they interpret it as generally 
accessibly by all.
To fix that, in fact data consumers would have to change their default 
to access=no, and that's where you don't change an existing tag, but 
change how a set of tags together has to be interpreted to be usual - 
while on the other hand it's only one tag more to do it in a more data 
user friendly way.

Peter

The nornal way is to tag each way with the restriction placed on it. 

Where the way passes beneath a bridge, that way is usually tagged with
maxheight, maybe maxwidth. An example is here
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/171499475

Some place a node with the same restriction under the bridge.

I cannot think of an example of a bridge with a restriction on both
ways, an overbridge is likely to use maxweight and/or maxwidth.

I can imagine changing this if we find a nice definition. Of course

it is clear: it will be tagged on the way it refers to. If two ways

That's how I understand it. Thanks for the confirmation.

 I can imagine changing this if we find a nice definition. Of course
 applications would not be compatible with that at first, but mappers
 could simply refrain from using it excessively and limit the use to
 lanes and similar cases where compatibility doesn't matter as much.

I'm afraid that we wouldn't get app-support for this. On the other hand if 
mappers are forced to use a lot of tags simply to specify what kind of vehicles 
are allowed for each lane, I believe most mappers will just forget about it. 
It's not worth the hassle especially as in the beginning no apps would support 
it. And as no-one maps it then why should apps support it? That's one of the 
drawbacks of the consumer-centered view: create theoretically perfect tagging 
schemes that are wonderfully easy to process - and so hard to map that there's 
no need to implement the processing because no one is using the scheme.

It is currently not valid - vehicle types can only appear in the key,
whereas groups of users (forestry, customers, delivery, ...) can only
appear in the value. For the groups of users, it actually gives
exclusive access rights to that group.

Here is a simple proposal that avoids confusion with the existing access 
restrictions.


special_use_lanes = no | no | hgv

(or special_use:lanes = .. to be consistent with other lanes tags)

Values can be 'no' (no special limitations apply to this lane), 'hgv', 
'psv', 'hov' etc.


special_use_lanes is just a suggestion, other words not making an 
association to access could also be used. Other ideas: 
special_lanes, exclusive_use_lanes


Would this be a useful way forward?
