[talk-au] What to tag Rays Lane?
Was doing a survey around the outskirts of Thirlmere (a small town in NSW), and came across a difficult road to survey and tag. It's called Rays Lane http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-34.15725lon=150.56322zoom=16layers=B000FTF It has 6 gates, 3 of which are usually closed - to help control any cattle that may be roaming about. The middle gate http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/569088596 Is in-between where most of the properties / driveways are, and hasn't been opened in what looks like a few years. As a consequence, the asphalt road is now more of a moss + soil + fallen tree barricade. I've tagged that section of road that's overgrown as being: disused = yes Does anyone know of any better tags for this section of road? I've some (geotagged) photos to help http://rhubarb.us.to/rays_lane/ Also, what's the best thing to do when you've discovered that 2 ends of the same road have slightly different spellings on their physical road signs? I've tried to tag the road as best I can http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/45369647 Do you think it'd be best to speak with the council about this?

Heh, I've seen that in Canberra. There's a street called Bolderwood/Boldrewood St. Maps aren't consistent either. There is an alt_name tag.

2009/12/1 cam_...@fastmail.fm: I've tagged that section of road that's overgrown as being: disused = yes I would tag that highway=disused, since this is more consistent with railway=disused etc. Also, what's the best thing to do when you've discovered that 2 ends of the same road have slightly different spellings on their physical road signs? You can guess at which is correct, you can split the way and tag the ends with the different names, you can pester the council responsible to find out if the signs are correct and/or report the problem to them. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

A google search for Scroggys Road comes up with nothing of that spelling, but positively identifies it as Scroggies Road according to council: http://www.wollondilly.nsw.gov.au/news/pages/19928.html I did a similar search to resolve the conflicting names Garryowen or Garry Owen Road: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/40542164 John ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
