I think that this cannot be discussed here. This has to be done locally. In Belgium, primary roads are roads with a reference in the form of an N or R followed by one or two numbers. The reference of a secondary road contains one letter and three numbers and a tertiary has no reference but has

[Tagging] Named gates

2011-07-29 Thread Josh Doe
I've noticed that barrier=gate nodes with a name=* tag don't show on the main OSM Mapnik layer. Is there another way I should be tagging this, or should I submit a ticket to change the OSM Mapnik stylesheet? In some areas gates are well known by their names, such as on military installations.

I've never seen a named gate where I would want the name to be rendered. But there's no reason to change the tagging in my view. Just make a ticket and see if the mapnik team is willing to render those. 2011/7/29 Josh Doe j...@joshdoe.com I've noticed that barrier=gate nodes with a name=* tag

Well, I just don't know any gates with names, exept city gates like the Menin gate in Ypres, but they can't be closed and I should not tag it as barrier=gate but rather as a building. I never heard of gates that can be closed and are still important enough to get a name.
