I believe we still need one user somewhere to update the data each year... I suggest to have a scheduled bot which detect obsolete conditions value (based on actual date) and automatically create a note on the map like "Obsolete conditional access value, please update the feature" . Otherwise as far as I know Maps.me does not use OSRM anymore since end of 2016. They changed to another routing engine (which leads to an amazingly long list of routing issues).

Re: [Tagging] Is there a way to make tags better?
What about using an existing solution, Wikibase[1] (of which Wikidata is an example)? Let's call it OSMdata. Wikibase is great because it allows for all kinds of structured data, which makes it future-proof. Some examples of use would be: We could add links to outside databases, for example Wikidata, or some other structured source that would add semantic meaning to some specialized tags. So if there is an unique ID of a special type of buoy, connect it to our seamark:type=cardinal_buoy tag on OSMdata. Create items that are tag combinations, and give those combinations additional data. For example, create an OSMdata item for amenity=place_of_worship+religion=buddhist, link it with the Wikipedia article about Buddhist temples. This gives more info about tag combinations, and in some way formalizes those combinations. Translations to all possible tag combinations (usable by all editors, and Nominatim for example) Add additional "meta tags", depending on the region they are found in. For example, default max_speed on highway=motorway in Spain. Create items for big geographical entities, like continents and oceans, and then, instead of relations, tag boundaries of those objects with the OSMdata ID. And countless other examples...

OSRM does not route you over barriers, which there is on that way: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/73331194#map=18/50.79082/15.32277&layers=D It has nothing to do with way tags or conditional tags from what I can see. Also check out the debug map: http://map.project-osrm.org/debug/#13.26/50.7756/15.3515 OSRM does have an experimental opening hours grammar parser for conditional tags but it's not (yet) in use by default.

Re: [Tagging] The direction=* tag
Hi,The second use should not be encouraged IMHO as it is redundant with the direction of the way.Reguarding the third use, you can use either traffic_signals:direction or direction but the first form will explicitly apply to the traffic_signals while the second may apply to different tags of the node. Imagine a node which is tagged as a traffic light (or a stop) and a crossing or a camera. To which one the direction apply if you don't specify it? If the second form is used, then it applies to all tags which may be associated to a direction. This is how I understand and use it.From my understanding stops, give ways and traffic lights can be mapped the same way but editors (JOSM, iD) have implemented presets for those features at different point in time without feeling the need for consistency. I know that iD is currently doing the job of having a consistent behavior for those three features and that they might prefer (traffic_signals|stop|give_way):direction instead of direction (to be confirmed). They are also working to display the direction on the node on the map.LeTopographeFouDe: t...@fitchdesign.comEnvoyé: 16 mars 2017 5:15 AMÀ: tagging@openstreetmap.orgRépondre à: tagging@openstreetmap.orgObjet: [Tagging] The direction=* tag The “direction” tag [1] has different uses that seem disjoint to me.To specify the orientation (compass point or degrees from north) of an object (adit or cave entrance, etc.). To specify direction (clockwise/counterclockwise) around a roundabout (not sure why this is needed as it should be apparent from local laws or specified with a “_oneway_=yes”).To indicate the direction (forward/backward) a stop or yield (give way) sign has effect along a way.Oddly, that third use seems only for stop and yield signs but not for traffic signals where a “traffic_signals:direction=forward | backward” tag is to be used.

Apparently some have figured that if we have “traffic_signals:direction” there should be “stop:direction” [3] and “give_way:direction” [4] tags.And other things where a direction like tag might be used, like roof aspect have their own tags (“roof:direction=*”) [5] which follow the syntax and semantics of the first definition of the “direction=*” tag.It seems to me that the first and the third definitions should be split into separate tags with the second definition deprecated.From a data consumer point of view, there may not be a conflict as map rendering is likely to only use the bearing definition while routing would use the forward/backward definition. Though I suppose that a really detailed map may wish to show the actual angle of a stop or yield sign as they are not necessarily exactly aligned with the traveled way. From a mapper’s point of view having totally different meanings for a tag based on context seems confusing.Since the “forward” and “backward” values are most used, it may be reasonable to keep the third definition of that tag even though it is inconsistent with “traffic_signals:direction”.Should we come up with a new tag to replace the angle/aspect meaning of the “direction=*” tag?

I agree that this situation is suboptimal. The second meaning has nothing to do with a direction but with a sense of rotation. So, I agree it should be dropped first, if any. Since the “forward” and “backward” values are most used, it may be reasonable to keep the third definition of that tag even though it is inconsistent with “traffic_signals:direction”. I don't agree. The uses of direction for forward/backward are in the same magnitude of order as for compass directions. A factor of 2 is not relevant. Both uses have their tradition and they are not likely to be mixed. The compass thing has more of an absolute direction than the forward/backward one, as it only specifies a binary feature relative to another oriented feature.

Re: [Tagging] Is there a way to make tags better?
Hi, there have been many plans/concepts in the past that tried to solve the same problems. I have lost track of the different endeavours and what they wanted to achieve and why they didn't. I remember a talk by David Earl about something tagging-related at a SOTM conference years ago; I remember some work being done by Stefan Keller at Rapperswil, and also quite recently someone did a little "big data" stuff with tags and tried to automatically find out "if you tag this you might also want to use these tags" rules or so. You should definitely also google for "Harry Wood Community Smoothness" and view that 2009 talk of his. On 16.03.2017 01:57, Yuri Astrakhan wrote: > == Suggestions == > In addition to presets, I think there should be an suggester service. > JOSM, iD and other programs can use it Precursors of such a suggester service are probably the presets offered by all big editors, and in the case of JOSM also the validator. Currently there's not even a database of presets or validation rules shared by all editors. Maybe that could be a first step (having a "preset service" and a "validation service", but it would need to provide some kind of offline capability too for editors that can't rely working internet connection while being used). Great power lies in creating and maintaining these services because you can essentially control what tags are used "in the wild". If the introduction of new tags is made more complicated, the power of the maintainers will be even greater. This is something that we, as a community, should think about - whom do we want to have this power? > We may even want to use machine learning techniques to > make suggestions. I am critical of that because it would remove the community's ability to check the algorithms. Currently I can look at the code of an editor and discern in which situations it will offer which choices to the user, and modify that if necessary. Once machine learning is employed, this will be more difficult, and editors could start suggesting stuff that we don't even want them to. > == Precise Meaning == > Whenever someone enters a tag=value pair, they have a very specific > meaning in mind.

This is a very contentious topic even if you leave religion out of it. There's a ton of things that can go wrong. In your example, one would have to ensure that only people who understand religion in the particular country will participate in the verification (plus there will be "helpful" people trying to automate the process). At DWG we have to deal with such well-meaning but erroneous mass edits all the time. For example (that was years ago), someone in Germany tried to change all "denomination=evangelical" to "denomination=protestant" in Germany because - that was his reasoning - the German term for "protestant" is "evangelisch" leading to many mappers mis-mapping a protestant church as "evangelical". But of course some of them were "evangelical" on purpose. Even today, some people are very eager to "deprecate" old tags in favour of something new they think should be used instead. Giving them a streamlined process to get rid of "old" tags sounds like inviting trouble.
