Re: [Tagging] WG: how to tag a "highway" that doesn't exist?

Hi Hans, Yes, I think I need help, not only from you: I've commented many of the changesets which introduced new highway=* tags on ways which are rarely used. I learned that many of them were typos, often highway=* should be historic=* or railway=* or waterway=*. I think I can manage to cleanup

Hey Gerd, Thanks for reaching out to me, i have to say I'm a little confused. The ways you mentioned were a mistake and were suppose to be tagged (historic,railway etc) i get. But like the example shown here (1) there seems to be no plausible reason for it? It seems to me that any examples which

Hi all, up to now I've used tunnel=culvert http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tunnel=culvert like this: 1) JOSM warns that a waterway and highway are crossing 2) I split the waterway into 3 parts and add tunnel=yes, layer=-1 to the short one in the middle (or split the road and add

Hi Hans, I think that is part of the problem, you always have to decide if the way is of any use for others, else we could just use a mass edit. Each case needs review and thinking, that's why I am asking for help ;-) As long as you contact the original mapper I see no problem. Gerd Hans De

Re: [Tagging] tunnel=culvert

I don't think that this is a strong point. Thinking about my own edits I'd say that the length could be +/- 4m because typically I just try to place the nodes somewhere neer the road, if I find an existing node that looks good enough I use that. On the other hand, I think we make assumptions

I think the one to contact there is SimMoonXP - in the tiger upload these were highway=residential, he is the one who changed them to highway=unbuilt. André Engels On Sun, Oct 25, 2015 at 10:09 AM, Hans De Kryger wrote: > The example above i mentioned >

Re: [Tagging] tunnel=culvert

I must comment here as I believe those two tags describe a situation quite common in Alaska. Many many smaller waterways cross under a highway in a special large diameter pipe called a culvert. The water flows through the culvert, both are below the roadbed and consequently they do not share or

Re: [Tagging] tunnel=culvert

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I think tunnel=culvert is special, my understanding is that it implies that the water goes through some kind of pipe. So tunnel=culvert on a node simply implies that the waterway is below the road, no layer tag is needed. Gerd

Re: [Tagging] tunnel=culvert

Does the pipe have to be below the road? There could be another tunnel below the culvert as well. In any case the pipe and the road are (in real life, and by design) not connected and if they share a node it will doubtless lead to all kinds of QA complaints. --colin On 2015-10-25 10:38,

I do not fully agree here. In Germany, I often see a traffic sign "Vorsicht Düker" (~ "Attention! Culvert") next to these culverts. I am not sure why I should pay attention, but it seems that some people think that the traffic on the road should notify it. Maybe because it also often means

Re: [Tagging] tunnel=culvert

Hi, I want to thank all of you for the input. I think it is common sense (now) that tunnel=culvert should be used on ways only, so I'd be happy to see the wiki pages changed so that they don't suggest to use the tag on a node. Who can do that? Gerd Von:

Here are some examples of this, just to clarify. I don't see how these could possibly be mapped as nodes, so I really don't understand what the debate was in the first place: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/26.53270/-81.75712 http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/26.53696/-81.77442
