[Tagging] destination_ref vs. dest_ref vs. destination:ref

2012-10-15 Thread Martin Vonwald
Hi! Up to now I usually used the tag destination_ref to specify the ref of the road where a link-road is heading, in analogy with the destination key. Now I've seen the key dest_ref in use and also destination:ref. Of course none is documented in the wiki ;-) What should we do? I could write a

I saw the choice between dest_ref and destination_ref and adopted dest_ref for the simple reason that it's shorter. In my mkgmap styles I allow for either, and recently added destination:ref to that list. I'm not particularly bothered which one wins, but I'm always in favour of a bit of

Hi! Some kind of short how-would-you-tag-this-survey. Have a look at part five of this motorway: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Lanes_Example_2.png Only part 5 is relevant. Assume there is no physical separation just a double line between the upper and lower two lanes. How would you tag

I would choose option b). Even if all four lanes are one piece of carriageway, it is useful for routing directions etc to be able to make a distinction between the left and right parts of the road. Normal mortals are supposed to treat the solid white lines as if they were a brick wall anyway,

I would opt for (b) even though I know that this is not the offcial way of tagging. The reason: In section (4) the driver can still change lanes, at least on the middle lanes, whereas in section (5) he cannot (legally) change lanes any more between the middle lanes. This example clearly

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal – RFC – Dynamic maxspeed

2012-10-15 Thread Janko Mihelić
Maxspeed is always variable, because you have to adjust your speed according to road conditions (snow, fog, traffic). Signals just make that visible, but it is always there, even without the signals. The only thing I would map is the maximal value the sign can show and put it in the maxspeed tag.
