Ah, that's one of my edits, but looking at it again I think I tagged it incorrectly. I contradict my own advice: This relation does not describe the waterway, it describes a route a boat could take. Similarly, no route info should be on the way: As the oneway refers to the route taken by a

Is it really necessary for a way that is tagged waterway=stream to also be tagged oneway=1? Isn't this implied? Please see this example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/306529208 note it appears that after I originally entered the way its direction was reversed (i.e. it now flows uphill).

The oneway tag doesn't indicate the flow direction but is a restriction that applies to boat or ship traffic on the waterway. The waterway in question is far too small for any traffic, even canoes or kayaks would find it impossible to move as it is very narrow. I suspect that the tag in

Paul, Thank you. In reality (based upon first hand knowledge of the area and the USGS Topo) the water flows north. I will reverse the way (and similarly impacted ways) and remove the oneway=1 tag. Mike On Sat, Jul 4, 2015 at 2:12 PM, Paul Norman penor...@mac.com wrote: On 7/4/2015 12:57 PM,

answer: oneway=-1 Have a look at this Overpass turbo query: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/ag9. A nice example is this one: http://osm.org/go/eukqnN8ao--?layers=CDm=node=348013974 Have at it with Bing (which by coincidence shows a very nice example of a false curve on the road under the canal,

Hi, without looking up anything on the wiki, I would spontaneously say that oneway on a waterway indicates the direction of traffic on that waterway. I expect to see canals with oneway tags on the map. I have already encountered oneway waterways myself, albeit before OSM existed. Volker

What happens if the direction of the traffic is different to the direction of flow? Thinking of bridges with central supports. On 2015-07-04 22:20, Volker Schmidt wrote: Hi, without looking up anything on the wiki, I would spontaneously say that oneway on a waterway indicates the
