Re: [Tagging] Tagging speed camera *zones*

2017-01-16 Thread Kieron Thwaites
> The UK has many "average speed" zones, which would have the same problem. We've got average speed zones down here, with signage warning of them and fixed, highly visible camera positions. As the cameras are fixed and permanent, the enforcement relation fits the description perfectly well

Re: [Tagging] [Talk-us] Freeway exit tagging

I can't comment whether this is "proper" usage or not, but I can illustrate how I've personally tagged lanes at freeway exits: Take, for example, this freeway interchange close to where I grew up (note: left-hand drive): https://goo.gl/maps/5eF35SVed452 There's no lane markings to indicate

Re: [Tagging] Please don't think name_1 tags are errors.

Whichever iD developer thought that adding random _N suffixes was a good idea deserves to be taken out back and shot. While handling newbie mistakes (and teaching them the correct way of doing things) is most certainly encouraged, doing it in such a way that pollutes tagging is totally

[Tagging] Tagging dangerous intersections

2015-11-10 Thread Kieron Thwaites
Hi, I recently passed through an intersection in a particularly dodgy part of town that actually had warning signs up, warning motorists that said intersection is a hotspot for "smash and grab" robberies. (If anyone is interested, it's on Google Streetview too: https://goo.gl/maps/kYkdMR9Kmpk)

[Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting Extension - Dynamic maxspeed

Hi all, Voting on the dynamic maxspeed proposal ended a few days ago, and I've gone through the results: yes=6, no=2. (Real life got in the way of my ability to do so earlier). In my opinion, even while there is an overwhelming majority leaning towards approval, not enough votes have been cast

[Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - maxspeed:variable=*

Hello, A while ago, I came across the maxspeed:variable=* tag, to specify if a highway's maximum speed could be further reduced using dynamic speed indication. This was proposed back in 2012 as an alternative to maxspeed=signals; the main rationale being that maxspeed=signals does not convey any

Hi, While I've never tagged any form of diplomatic institution, I agree with the rationale behind your proposal. I do have some suggestions around implementation details. I would argue that you wouldn't need tags specifying what country the diplomatic institution is physically located in: one
