[Tagging] "Living street" in Japan

As I have been coming back to tagging recently, I noticed a lot of rural residential/alley/driveway/track roads being mapped as a “living street” in my region of Japan. A prolific editor (2000+ edits) is one of the mappers doing it, so I Im unsure about what is going on. As far as I know, “

Re: [Tagging] natural=bay on areas

No, I just tagged the edge of the bay as natural=coastline because this is the top of the tidal range. Even being more rigorous the natural=coastline must be shifted far away towards west of current position. The lower part of Georges River is a typical ria: an unglaciated valley submerged into

Re: [Tagging] Stećci - Bosnian medieval tombstones

A tomb without a body, built to commemorate dead whose remains lie elsewhere, is a 'cenotaph'. There's an earlier, inconclusive, thread on the topic: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2016-September/030196.html On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 5:28 PM, Michal Fabík wrote: > Hi, > some t

[Tagging] Stećci - Bosnian medieval tombstones

Hi, some time ago, I was wondering what would be the proper way to tag a stećak (plural form stećci), a large monolithic tombstone, often with carved inscriptions and/or ornaments, found in Bosnia and neighbouring countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ste%C4%87ak). They are usually the sha

Is there an established way of mapping detour routes such as Pennsylvania's colored Interstate detours, as seen in this picture ? I would think it would be as simple as using route relations with route=detour, ref=Green/Blue/Orang

Re: [Tagging] natural=bay on areas

Initially I was concerned that by changing the tagging from natural=water, water=bay to natural=bay that the whole bay would be rendered as land since that's what the wiki suggests. I now see that the same user changed the edges of the bay to be natural=coastline to prevent this. I'm agree now tha

Re: [Tagging] named spots in settlements (toponyms)

I would suggest place=locality in this case, and have seen it used for things like that (e.g. in Dublin, Ireland https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11675220 ). The "unpopulated place" bit is (IMO) just to separate it from town/village/hamlet etc, where you should be able to say "How many people l

Re: [Tagging] Traffic sign relevant direction: relation type:enforcement vs. direction=* vs. traffic_signals:direction=*

Hi Marc, I sometimes have to change the direction of a way when merging two of them and when they are oriented in the opposite directions. I.e. when two parts of the same road are mapped and I map the part in between, I merge all of them when there's no reason not to. I don't know if it's the
