Re: [talk-au] School Zones
I came to the opinion that a maxspeed tag didn't really capture a school zone, even with complex time restrictions. Possibly it makes more sense to keep using restriction=school_zone but as others have pointed out, probably nothing reads these. I know some brands of car GPS devices can warn you about a school zone, but I don't think there are any that could get this from OSM. For now I preserve these tags if I am editing a way that has them, but I don't add them if they are not there already. - Ben Kelley.

We could include the extended information (e.g. operational times and days) as either a [note = ...] (notes are not displayed to end users), or even a [description = ...] (descriptions are potentially displayed to end users as text hints/guides). Does anyone else have thoughts about school zones? I'm particularly interested in whether we can come up with a method that is appropriate for all states. I went through the same thought process as you, and came to the same conclusion. School Zones only apply school days, so the times of application can't be captured. They have different demerit point structures.

Re: [talk-au] import of state borders?
Michael wrote OK, I have just imported the missing parts of the ACT border (changeset #12765494). Looks good Michael, I have moved some points on the straight bit using information from some of my GPS traces. One spot where my GPS traces don't indicate the border is on the extension to Hugh Mackay Crescent. John, does your information of this area (Bicentennial Natiuonal Trail) indicate where the border is? BTW I'm doing a mapping run down to Melbourne this weekend, is there any (small) thing anyone wants checked out on the way (back).

[talk-au] redaction cleanup - unusual water feature
Hi, I'm working on the post redaction checks from the rebuild server at http://rebuild.poole.ch/job/29 And I'm a bit confused by this: http://osm.org/go/ueHoaPP9-- If you look at Bing imagery for this location it is composed of some sort of inland harbour/marina/coastline/water feature which had previously been mapped (rather elegantly too by the look of it), from Nearmap as source. Post redaction there are the outline nodes left,and I'm was wondering how to go about reinstating this coastline/water? Join up the existing nodes? Start again? What tags?

I would re-use the existing nodes. Regarding tagging I was about to suggest natural=water but then I did some reading in the wiki. So I think natural=coastline is the right thing to use. There's a similar structure a bit south which is tagged as waterway=riverbank - I don't think that's a good idea.

Re: [talk-au] redaction cleanup - unusual water feature
I'd join up the existing nodes if possible. South-East Queensland has many of these canal systems in residential areas. Take a look at the Gold Coast region for some tips if you want examples - http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-28.0229lon=153.4144zoom=14layers=M Miami in Florida might be another place to reference for such features.

John, does your information of this area (Bicentennial Natiuonal Trail) indicate where the border is? I deleted all my GPS data from that area. Way back then, I didn't foresee any need to keep it, as I do these days. But my clear recollection from many trips to that area is that this gate http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/258492338/history is exactly on the border. And that the border follows this fence-line (at least in the vicinity of the gate): http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/69891320/history Likely the final position I gave the gate was quite accurate. I mapped that area on bicycle and tend to use the averaging feature on my Garmin for 30 seconds or so to refine the position of nodes like gates.

John wrote the border follows this fence-line (at least in the vicinity of the gate): Thanks John I've moved the border closer to the gate, keeping the gate in NSW and the trail in ACT. The border looks a bit crooked to me now, I'll have to do some more work on it in a couple of weekends time.

Re: [talk-au] redaction cleanup - unusual water feature
As others have said , I'd re-use the existing nodes. I'd probably tag this as natural = water David - Original Message - From: Chris Barham To: talk-au Sent: Friday, August 24, 2012 7:21 PM Subject: [talk-au] redaction cleanup - unusual water feature Hi, I'm working on the post redaction checks from the rebuild server at http://rebuild.poole.ch/job/29 And I'm a bit confused by this: http://osm.org/go/ueHoaPP9-- If you look at Bing imagery for this location it is composed of some sort of inland harbour/marina/coastline/water feature which had previously been mapped (rather elegantly too by the look of it), from Nearmap as source.
