Re: [Tagging] Lane geometry in OSM

I've experimented a bit with lane and road attributes as in https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/505256201 and the adjoining intersection. No width, but number, function and placement of lanes. For placement, I always selected the center of the throughway. This allows renderers that pay no

Re: [Tagging] Missing access value (access=license / authorization?)

It’s not absolutely necessary but you get the chance of some feedback from other OSM users that you may appreciate later if you do it, together with the chance to advertise the tagging scheme to other mappers or data consumers. Think of it as your call, there are other ways especially for

Kevin, Just to prepare you a bit: it's very well possible that you will get objections very late in the approval process. eg. during the voting phase from people that never discussed the tag before. We've seen this e.g. with amenity/tourism=reception(_desk), where people just ignored all previous

Re: [Tagging] Lane geometry in OSM

OSM has a free tagging model. That means that everybody can use any tag they want. But this is not workable of course. Therefore we try to seek consensus on how we can tag certain features. One way to do this is by writing a proposal, asking for comments, improving the proposal, and having a vote

[Tagging] Lane geometry in OSM

Hello OSM Tagging, I have a question about the use of detailed lane geometry to OpenStreetMap, like (1) lane centerlines, or (2) lane boundaries, (3) variable lane width, or (4) lane connectivity. Currently, all I see are: *(1) how many marked lanes are there on a highway, e.g. * *(2) which

Re: [Tagging] Missing access value (access=license / authorization?)

Is there a documented process for putting a proposal? I'm certainly willing to draft the text, although I'm not going to be able to do it before the weekend. Can someone else run the proposal process or at least guide me through it? On Thu, Aug 2, 2018, 12:55 PM Szem wrote: > A couple of us

Re: [Tagging] Missing access value (access=license / authorization?)

A couple of us have said their opinion. It seems to me nobody have said the access=permit tag is useless. And now, what is the next step? Worldwide the 97% of editors have not read this mailing list. Without written a short explanation in the wiki only a few editor will use it, or they will use

For the Old Course at Saint Andrews (ancient and well-known golf course), holes do have names. See the Wikipedia page or the website. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Course_at_St_Andrews#Scorecard I think tags on OSM should be (it is not the case currently): ref=1 name=Burn ref=2 name=Dyke

Sorry.. don't know what an 'allotment plot' is? I don't see that mentioned in the OSMwikis for golf. I follow the rest of the 'ref' argument. Will have to look at it. On 02/08/18 22:09, Paul Allen wrote: On Thu, Aug 2, 2018 at 11:05 AM, Chris Hill > wrote: I

Re: [Tagging] Golf tag combinations

I think people use the ref tag because that makes sense. I'm not a golfer but on allotments the whole site usually has a name and the individual plots have a number (ref=*). The OSM Standard map can't show everything. We used to have a map like that as a sort of 'debug' map for mappers; it was
