[OSM-talk] HOT Docs

2011-08-06 Thread Kate Chapman
Hi All,

HOT has been working on an OpenStreetMap manual as part of our work in
Indonesia.  Most of the credit goes to Jeff Haack, Emir Hartato and
Vasanthi for working very hard on this. We realize there are many
different guides that exist, but wanted something that could be
accessible to those without much computer experience when they first
start using OSM.

Currently the master documents are in English and there is a nearly
complete Bahasa Indonesian guide as well.

Anyway, hope it can be of help:

Thanks!

There is 7 lift gates, one after the other, on a motorway?


It's a ramp to a reversible lane that's only open at certain times of the
day. Look at the Bing aerial.



Yes, I can understand that there is a lift gate, but 7 in a row, which
you have to pass one after the other? I guess they are parallel, not
in line, or am I wrong?


Did you look at the aerial? They are one after the other, and in raised 
position when the road is open.

It's typical for American highways' "rush lanes" to have a number of lift
gates in a row. As Nathan noted, the gates are to lanes that are one way to
one direction in the morning and another in the evening -- and that are in
the middle of the road.
The greater number of gates serve the purpose of pointing out even to the
most asleep SUV driver that they are hitting something that they are not
supposed to when trying to go against the flow.
It's obviously also a good thing for the gate manufacturers, so I wouldn't
be surprised if they had lobbied for the "standard" ;)

Cheers,

[OSM-talk] Design List

2011-08-06 Thread Kate Chapman
Hi All,

So we've talked about design on and off around here.  I personally
have never made a pretty interface in my entire life.

Anyway, I've had some designers doing some work for a project HOT is
doing in Indonesia and there was interest in discuss design on a
larger scale.  I figured having a mailing list would be a good place
to start.  That way if you do meet someone interested in design and
OSM there is a place to send them.

This of course isn't meant to replace any of the work on the wiki or
anything else that has already done.  I'm working on a summary of
that, so that it will be at least in the archives of the list.

So if you are interested subscribe:)
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/design

Thanks!

-Kate

What is that symbol that appears along the way?


Never mind - I hadn't noticed that the nodes were tagged barrier=lift_gate.
