Re: [Tagging] Powerlines underground

I don't see any thing against using level=* to solve some rendering issues.

Feature-independance is maybe the key for more simplicity and versatility.
As location=underground is one other example.
power=cable isn't feature independent at all, are we?

[Tagging] Wiki draft about power lines

2013-01-16 Thread François Lacombe
Hi,

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Power_lines

This article dealing with power lines and electric substations seems to use
some deprecated tags like power=minor_underground_cable.
It would be great to update it to the current format for these tags.

Eventually we could split it in two parts respectively about lines and
substations to best describe these main parts of power grids and link it
directly from the WikiProject Power Networks page.

The third part about power routes should be merged with other articles
dealing with this topic.

Does it mind someone?
Do you see any other way of improvement?


Cheers.

Re: [Tagging] cycleway Tagging and Wiki-Page

2013-01-16 Thread Brad Neuhauser
To me, the Schutzstreifen example should be tagged a bike lane.

This page discusses an example of what I'd see as the shared lane (see
photo at bottom of page)...
http://www.bikewalktwincities.org/news-events/news/biking-walking-and-blogging-what-bicyclists-may-use-full-lane


(tl;dr: by state law in Minnesota (and I'm assuming other places), cars are
legally supposed to share the road with bikes, the signage just reinforces
that for both drivers and cyclists.)

...which matches up exactly with what it says on the wiki.

Regarding "sharrow", the wiki says it means the same as shared lane, but
may have different signage.  Maybe they should be merged in the wiki (ie in
the shared lane description add "includes sharrows")

The Minneapolis chart of bike markings actually uses the sharrow sign as an
example of shared lane:
http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/bicycles/WCMS1P-083213   Also, if you look
at these examples, the lanes with dashed lines are areas where vehicles may
be merging in or through the bike lane (ie for turning near an
intersection)--the dashed lines are there more for the cars than the bikes.

Nowhere on the cycleway wiki page does it discuss bikes being required to
use bike lanes.  I'm not sure how you'd tag that if it were the case.

So is that the same marking as a shared_lane?

The cyclemap and velomap interpret cycleway=lane as the bicycle have
to move on that lane. So its mandatory. But with the new tagging the
useage is stated by cycleway:bicycle=designated|yes. And it is only
implicit documented on the wiki. I will fix that if we come to a
conclusion on this thread.

Re: [Tagging] Powerlines underground

Hi Janko.

Earlier this month, I asked to french list why only lines are mapped
instead of circuits.

The answer was "Mapping cricuits by two parallels ways more of the time is
useless and not efficient. We'd better mapping lines".
Furthermore, we have relations to document circuits through power grid and
this answer was really the good one.
It's consistent to do the same for cables vs lines.

All topics on wiki deals with reification of lines, not for cables.
I think consistency is more important than all particular situations we can
find.

You find a deal for the renderer.
But as a raw data consumer, It will be mandatory for me to find all the
combinations to describe a line.
It's not simpler.

I think that if we map underground cables with "power=line,
location=underground" we will expect too much from renderers that don't
want to think too much about this. If you put "power=cable" they will not
render it, and everything is ok.

There are three cables in the air as well. I'm sure we will find an example
of a powerline drawn with 3 lines :) And I'm not sure if I could defend
deleting those two. They "are" there.

How do we recognize the connections between the sations ? Or is the data

Do you mean when you see line lines go underground inside the stations?
Sometimes it's write down on cables and you can read it (the name of end
point + number of line).
Otherwise, maps could be published by operators :

If you don't have a clue, don't map it, that's wiser.
