Before the old customs shed in Dover Harbour (UK) there was one that was referred to as a "Cat's Claw" but it looks like that might be a trade mark. http://www.britishbodyguard.co.uk/CatsClawProducts.html They have rebuilt that whole area recently and it looks like the cat's claw has gone no

I don't think they are all that common Bryce but I have seen them. And that is a controlled situation. This is a normal street! It would be good to be able to alert drivers about something like this when using a GPS for guidance but I'm not sure there's a good way to do that. @Janko, I don't see a

A building=storage_tank only tells you what the building looks like from the outside, and what was it's first purpose. It could very well be an interesting hotel. uto, 14. tra 2015. 07:45 Clifford Snow je napisao: > > On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 10:20 PM, Mateusz Konieczny > wrote: > >> I think tha

Well, the street is likely already tagged with oneway=yes, so we know the direction of spikes. I'll throw out a suggestion: barrier=one_way_spikes. Janko uto, 14. tra 2015. 07:47 Dave Swarthout je napisao: > Take a look at this nasty device that prevents traveling the wrong way on > a oneway st

For your inspection, upgrade of: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dstorage_tank To "defacto" status on the wiki (as it has 100,000 uses). Note the German page has always asked for building=yes on this feature, which strikes me as both reasonable and a rendering hack. __

I want to +1 the idea of using leisure=range. There are some dangerous sports where some people are allowed to be downfield, even if it's just the judges (shot-put, etc.). But with shooting/archery sports, even the judges don't get on the field. That does make a distinction between the types o

That's true - because the proper tag for it was not created yet and this is a case of tagging for the renderer. A sports center may have an indoor range in a larger building, or the outdoor sports center is not mapped fully. But if it is sport=archery + leisure=pitch it should be changed to l
