 I am happy with current rendering, and I want to keep that when the names
 are stripped. The OSM mapnik layer will hopefully add the amin_name to the
 border labels, so that Gutenbrunn will show up as Gemeinde Gutenbrunn
 again, or as Gutenbrunn (Gemeinde) or Gemeinde: Gutenbrunn or similar.



What about Marktgemeinde Gutenbrunn (that's what they call themselves on
their official homepage)?




 How would you like the Berlin border labeled? Well, I guess just Berlin,
 because there's only one administrative unit with that name, and everybody
 in the world knows what Berlin is.



no, most people in the world don't know about the administrative details
and would think that Berlin is a city/municipality and not a Land
(something similar to a state)

In Sweden it also generally not allowed to cycle on the road if a cycleway
are present. There are some exeptions to this rule, but one cyclist
actually got judged recently for violating this law.

In NL I think it is similar to Germany. The definition of the sign is
verplicht fietspad i.e. compulsory cycle track. When the cycle track
runs adjacent to a road the intention is clear, but the sign is
interestingly also used for cycle paths through the middle of the
countryside with no adjacent road. One might interpret this as you MUST
follow this path, even if it goes in the wrong direction for you 

In Dutch law a snorfiets (light motorbike with pedals, max. 25 km/h)
is equivalent to a bicycle, but a proper moped (max. 45 km/h) is a
different class of vehicle. A snorfiets (called a mofa in OSM - is
that a German term?) must follow the same rules as cycles. In some areas
a moped is expected to use cycle tracks (the round blue sign shows both
a cycle and a moped) but in other areas mopeds must follow the roads. 

There is also a non-mandatory cycle track which is a path on which it
is permitted to cycle. Snorfietsen can use these paths as well of
course, but only in in pedal mode (unless they are electric).

[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (Obligatory vs. optional cycletracks)

2014-12-22 Thread Hubert
The need to distinguish between obligatory and optional cycle ways is quite
common. Right now it's done by distinguishing between
bicycle=official/designated and bicycle=yes or bicycle=official and
bicycle=designated/yes.
In a similar way, I think it is better to use something like
bicycle=obligatory instead of cycleway= optional since it is more of an
access problem, than a type problem. (I also don't like cycleway=opposite)
After all the only difference is where one may or must ride. The cycle way
itself does look the same, except for the missing sing.

Except  Mofas (German abbreviation for Motor Fahrrad) don’t count as bicycle in 
germany. They may use cycle way  in rural areas (outside of Cities, Towns,

2014-12-22 Thread althio forum
In France the situation exists. Two signs are designed for this (but
not well understood by people and even sometimes misused by
authorities):

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Road_signs_in_France

Sign B22a (round, blue) = compulsory / mandatory / obligatory
Bicycles MUST use, bicycles not authorised on main road.

Sign C113 (square, blue) = optional / proposed / reserved
Bicycles may use cycleway or share road with motor vehicles

Compulsory cycleway with sign B22a is even clearer when the main road shows:
Sign B9b (round, red circle) = forbidden / not allowed / no access
Bicycles not authorised on road (reserved for motor vehicles) or path
(reserved for pedestrians).

If the road and the cycleway are two differents OSM entities (2 ways):
the situation of a compulsory cycleway (B9b+B22a) is currently not
tagged on the cycleway but on the separate way for road with motor
vehicles. Used tags (status unknown) may include bicycle=no or
bicycle=use_sidepath.

Another no. A suitable tag already exists.
In Australia generally you are allowed to bicycle on any road. There are some 
exceptions .. and they should be well marked with signs. As for tags .. these 
are already available as tags on the road where bicycling is not allowed. Use 
the tag bicycle=no on the road where the bicycle is not allowed. Why the need

I think the only need for 'obligatory cycleway' is to remove bicyclist 
from certain roads! e.g.


I'm bicycling north to south.. there is an obligatory cycleway 1000 kms 
west of me ..

Do I have to use it? No. Totally unreasonable.
Or is it only obligatory for the adjacent road? Yes. In which case the 
road can be tagged bicycle=no ... if I don't want to use that 
'obligatory cycleway' I could then find another road .. possibly further 
away, but I could avoid both that road and that cycleway. Thus the 
'obligatory cycleway' applies to those bicyclists trying to use that one 
road.


Same situation for the 'compulsory cycle track' if no other path exists 
then you have to use it, if there are other paths then mark the other 
paths as bicycle=no, as the situation demands.

No. If - for example - you need to turn left on the next crossing and the
adjacent cycleway is separated from the main road so that it is not
possible to turn left from the cycleway, you are allowed to switch to the
main road and drive on it in order to turn left. So bicycle=no is never
correct in such situation.

Well, you don’t need it for routing purposes (if bicycle=use_sidepath is used 
in a certain way). But there are cases where you want do render “compulsory” 
and “optional” cycle ways in a different ways (e.g. dark blue and light blue). 
But in order to do that you need the information. Either as bicycle=obligatory 
or obligatory=yes/no, or … .

Right now, I also have to tag traffic_sign=* and another information if that 
specific way is adjacent to a road.

[Tagging] Date of survey

2014-12-22 Thread jgpacker
Hi, I saw that a user recently added a suggestion in the wikipage  Key:source
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:source   to add the date of the
source of the object in a separate tag called source:date=*.

Example:
source=survey
source:date=2014-08-15

Another example:
source:name=XYZ
source:name:date=2011-11-13

This suggestion was added to the page having as a goal machine-readability,
however the suggestion that was there before the page was changed also seems
to be machine-readable.
It was to add the date in the source tag itself, using the same date
standard, after specifying the source. The previous examples would be
source=survey 2014-08-15 and source:name=XYZ 2011-11-13.
As far as I can see, using only one tag is preferred, and as long as the
format is respected (which will be respected if the user was interested in
machine-readability anyway), it can still be read by a machine even with a
simple regular expression.

What do you guys think?

No, that's advertising language, they are showing off their market right in
order to impress their visitors and to attract investors.

Re: [Tagging] [Talk-us] Beaver dam? Wrecked bridge? Hallucinatory roads in TIGER?

2014-12-22 Thread Bryce Nesbitt
Traditional paper cartography has good visual solution for this, including
symbols for trails that become indistinct.
These symbols are quite useful, not supported in Google Maps, and I'd like
to bring them to OSM.

In our case there should also be at least one more level in the hierarchy
for trails:

   - route :  the mapped route represents a general travel corridor there
   may be no visible trail
   - indistinct :  signs of trail travel come and go.
   - informal : trail is distinct, but not officially sanctioned.  This is
   a cut through or use trail
   - normal : trail is distinct and officially sanctioned.

That might be best as three keys.  One relating to the official status,
another to the ease of following,
and the third as to difficulty (e.g. bushwhacking, loose rocks, deep bog).
For OHV trails width
is also a very needed tag.



And any trail may lead to a :

   - Junction.
   - Dead end.  Travel beyond this point is difficult or impossible.
   - Indistinct end.  Travel beyond this point is undertaken regularly, but
   the trail character changes.
   - Unstated end

It's also time perhaps to talk about a trailhead symbol.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (Obligatory vs. optional cycletracks)

2014-12-22 Thread fly
As we have tags for different kind of *lane the only problem is
cycleway=track.

Now we have two solutions:

1. deprecate cycleway=track in favour of cycleway=*_track
2. add a new key like bicycle_track=*

My two cents

Which would not help in my case, as I work for several days on the same

 I always use the tag combination source=survey ;

 Whether on the changeset or on the object - whichever is most appropriate,
 automatically adding the current date as survey:date whenever a
 source=survey is entered could be a nice optional editor functionality.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (Obligatory vs. optional cycletracks)

2014-12-22 Thread Mateusz Konieczny
cycleway=track

I propose to treat this tag as a special case of fixme - it indicates
some sort of cycleway parallel to road, without any additional details.

In theory it is possible to add tags that specify surface, side of road,
width by tags like cycleway:track:left:surface, but it is ridiculous.

Especially specifying geometry (where cycleway is) is
nearly impossible (and sometimes impossible in any sane way -
sometimes cycleway is next to road but distance changes).

These things are trivial for tagging as a separate way
(with highway=cycleway with normal set of tags). Especially
geometry is defined in a standard way, not by some ridiculous tags.

At least this is my experience from tagging cycleway
data in Kraków and using this data to render a map of bicycle
related infrastructure.
