Re: [Tagging] Places admin boundaries
2012/10/28 Alberto albertoferra...@fastwebnet.it 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.

[Tagging] Exclusive access rights
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
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). Regards, Chaos 2012/10/29 Martin Vonwald imagic@gmail.com: Hi!

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.

Re: [Tagging] Exclusive access rights
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. regards Peter Am 29.10.2012 12:40, schrieb Martin Vonwald: People - really!
