Re: [Tagging] automated edits seem to remove crossing=zebra drastically

Hi, crossing has been a very poor tag because it seems to be the kitchen sink for all the questions pertaining to crossings... Many of the attributes that get values in "crossing" are potentially overlapping and not mutually exclusive, causing a lot of confusion and poorly tagged crossings. Nev

Re: [Tagging] "width" on streets: Time for a recommendation

Hi, This is yet another example why "sticking" the sidewalks onto the highway (as a tag) rather than mapping them as separate ways is appearing to be less and less practical. Please see our sidewalk schema proposal from several years ago. I think @Mark brings up really relevant width distinctio

Re: [Tagging] Benches and hostile architecture

Hi, Well, in defense of Oliversimmo, we have MANY subjective tags in OSM that require a second look. Like accessible=yes... accessible to whom? Even if you’re just assuming accessible to wheelchairs: wheelchair users have such a wide breadth of preferences, needs, and risks they’re willing to

Re: [Tagging] site relations for city walls?

FWIW, as the originating party for the “sidewalk as separate way” proposal, we have actually been mapping and tagging both the pedestrian crossing line geometry as well as the intersecting node geometry with the crossing demarcation. Moreover, we highly recommend using the tag Crossing= exclus

[Tagging] How to describe footpath border?

Hi, This is a corollary discussion to the one raised earlier this week about unprotected pedestrian lanes. Even in protected pedestrian paths and sidewalks, it is useful to know what kind of borders the path has. Is it buffered by grass streetside? Is there a wall on one side? Is there a kerb/

Re: [Tagging] Proposal: Access Aisle

Thank you, @Clifford. This could be very helpful for navigation of transit hubs and park and rides. Unfortunately, knowing where these pathways are *not* is even more helpful because many times, when these paths are missing, people have to go into the parking aisle (or traffic) to reach the ne

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Toy Library

Please also include the tag variant Toy_library:for=disability For designated adapted toy libraries (we run one in Seattle, and I’ll be happy to tag it as such). Regards, AC > On Oct 1, 2019, at 10:37 AM, Mail Mail wrote: > > Toy libraries are a feature that has already been tagged a bit by
