Well, as routing is primarily defined by destination, if you have two 
cycle routes heading in the same direction to choose from, I'm very 
jealous, In the real world how often do you believe that occurs?


What distance from a road would you consider a path have to be before it 
transforms from the one to the other of your examples?

you can tag actual landuse (residential or agricultural, etc.), and will 
automatically see whether these are coherent or isolated. 
Isolated dwelling is for a single dwelling, the intent behind this new tag is 
to have a way for tagging a group of several (dispersed) buildings that somehow 
belong together (have a common name for the whole)

if the toponyms are not related to a settlement or part of it, locality is fine 
as value for place. Still I'm sure there are these kind of dispersed 
settlements consisting of several houses with a common settlement name that 
would not be nicely classified as hamlets, so a new place value would make 
sense (IMHO).

There are many old windpumps in the Midwestern part of the United States.  
Built in the 1800's and 1900's, most are now broken down and no longer used.  
Some have been restored and are left standing for aesthetic purposes.  (In one 
of the earlier posts in this thread someone referenced a picture of one of 
them, but I have since deleted that post.)  Like Javbw's father, I believe most 
people in the Midwestern US would call them "windmills" and not "windpumps."  I 
would like to point out that many (most?) of them were created for pumping 
natural gas out of the ground, not water.  They were mapped on the USGS 
topographic maps.  You will see them symbolized with a small hollow circle, 
with the label "Gas well."

[Tagging] Highway turn outs

2017-06-15 Thread Tod Fitch
In mountainous areas the highways here often have a wider spot signed as a 
“turn out” where slower moving traffic is supposed to pull over to allow 
following vehicles to pass. These are scattered along two lane roads were the 
sight distance is too short to allow passing other wise. For examples, see the 
Bing satellite imagery at [1] and [2]

The only tag I see in the wiki that is close is highway=passing_place [3] but 
that says it is specifically for roads with less than two lanes. Is there an 
alternative tag or should passing place be redefined to allow its use on wider 
roads?

I suppose I could simply tag those locations as a short sections with two lanes 
in one direction, but the same could be said of anyplace tagged with “passing 
place” as described by the wiki.

the physical characteristic of the hydrant is the nut/bolt head, not the
wrench.

square, triangular and pentagonal seem to be the three that are out there.
i'm not sure the size is that important, the wrenches in use seem to be
adjustable.

other tagging notes while we're at it:

i have been using a few other tags in the capital district of new york.

i separate out pond because water source is really a different thing
than the type of hydrant; i've seen dry_barrel pillar hydrants used
with a pond water source. and i generally distinguish between the two
major variations of the pillar hydrant.

fire_hydrant:type=dry_barrel
  wet_barrel
  pipe


fire_hydrant:water_source=main
  pond
  stream

if a locality is using the NFPA paint scheme it's possible to discern
the class of hydrant from the color of the caps. in the US an AA hydrant
has been flow tested and shown to have a very high flow rate. A, B & C are
successively weaker hydrants. firemen have been known to ignore C hydrants
and go find better ones to hook up to.

fire_hydrant:class=AA

out of service hydrants are supposed to clearly marked, either with
a tag on the outlets, or by covering them with a bag:

in_service=yes

the colors of the bonnet (top) and caps on the outlets may or may not
convey useful information. depends entirely on the jurisdiction.

colour:bonnet=white
colour:cap=red

Re: [Tagging] Time is now: tag ALL traffic signs in OSM

2017-06-15 Thread marc marc
Hello,

I think that tagging all traffic sign is very usefull.
I hope having one day an app that automates photo-sign-osm process.
Mainly because it is the easy way to detect signaling changes.

The proposal is interesting but the key side should be improved.
It would be useful to be compatible with both trends:
- locate one or more nodes where panel(s) are located. a relation ?
- summarize the location of panel(s) with a word as you describe with 
the side key.

The Traffic_signs_XX preset for josm is usefull.
It just lacks the ability to set more than a location.
For example down+right is common for stop and giveway signs.

According to this wiki entry:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features/Units

it would be:

fire_hydrant:couplings=2.5";2.5";4.5"

If not given, a default unit could be specified by the wiki entry (based
on official SI units; therefore metric).
Alternatively we could tell people to always use a unit value to avoid
mistakes on this tag.

Re: [Tagging] fire hydrants

2017-06-15 Thread marc marc
Hello,

fire_hydrant:outlets and fire_hydrant:couplings are not so intuitive.
Without reading the wiki or the mailing, people can fill in with "yes" 
or with outlets number (it is the meaning of fire_hydrant:count ?)
As a not-fireman, I unable to give the exact diameter of outlets.
But I can and I fill the outlets count, not sure it's helpful.
therefore I prefer fire_hydrant:outlets:count + 
fire_hydrant:outlets:diameter
or fire_hydrant:couplings:count + diameter or sizetype.

Re: [Tagging] fire hydrants

2017-06-15 Thread Viking
Ok Robert, I think that if in Austria firemen use letters for diameters, we 
should allow letters in OSM too.
By the way, do you think that in an hydrant all couplings follow the same 
standard (UNI, or Storz, or...)? I mean in fire_hydrant:coupling_type is a 
single value enough to describe all couplings? I know that in Italy the answer 
is yes, but I don't know it in other countries.
If a single values is enough also for other countries, we can go on with 
fire_hydrant:coupling_type and  fire_hydrant:couplings. Otherwise we should 
indicate the type of each coupling. I mean if hypothetically there was an 
hydrant with one UNI 70 coupling and two Storz C couplings, we should use 
something like:
fire_hydrant:couplings=StorzC;StorzC;UNI70.

In any case we should write on the wiki a list of accepted values for 
fire_hydrant:coupling_type and fire_hydrant:couplings. A good idea would be a 
table with country specific common values.
For example for Italy:
tag: fire_hydrant:coupling_type
standard value: UNI
tag: fire_hydrant:couplings
standard values: 45, 70, 100

About the wrench, Richard, we could create the subtag  fire_hydrant:wrench. In 
Italy we have standard pentagonal or square wrench. What would you insert in 
this tag? Type and size of the wrench? Something like:
fire_hydrant:wrench=square30
Or, like couplings, create fire_hydrant:wrench_type and 
fire_hydrant:wrench_size?

Best regards,
Alberto

after the catastrophic 1904 Baltimore high rise fire. companies coming

the norm in OSM usually looks like

i'd need to do some research. there are a variety of wrench types available,
you can get an idea from the grainger website:

There is not yet a tag for this. In Austria a typical wrench looks like
this: http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/251745653405-0-1/s-l1000.jpg
The left side is used to open the bolt at the top, while the right side

Re: [Tagging] dispersed settlements / scattered settlements

2017-06-15 Thread mbranco2
Martin began this thread after a discussion in the Italian List [1] .
Problem arise because we've official toponyms (they are used in addresses,
in scarcely inhabited areas, where roads have not an official name).
These toponyms are not strictly related to the (few) dispersed houses, but
also to the surrounding woods, meadows, fields, etc
There aren't official borders for these areas, so we'd use just only a
node, not a closed way to identify the zone.

To show an example, in this screenshot [2] you can read several toponyms
related to this area [3] : coloured dots are buildings with related toponym
being in their addresses.

You can find (several times) the same issue in the discussion page for
place=locality [4] : in my opinion, place=locality could resolve this issue
if we change "unpopulated place" with "unpopulated or scarcely inhabited
place".

Ciao,
Marco

Re: [Tagging] dispersed settlements / scattered settlements

If the land is not used for agriculture but for residences then 
landuse=residential.


Most of the land is used for agriculture? Then landuse=farmland.

Where the land between the buildings is used for both .. I'd map it 
landuse=farmland. And then


where a residence occurs - map the building, building=residential. Most 
of the time mappers may have little time to give to these things though 
and armchair mappers will be stuck with building=yes..


-
When does a wide spread village become dispersed_residential? Sorry but 
the determination from one to the other will need to be made, and that 
may well be country/culture specific.



The 'place' tag does not nominate the landuse, it is really just the 
size, importance and name of an area.

A landuse= tag of Dispersed_Residential or Residential_Agriculture 
would be helpful and more useful than place=locality or 
place=isolated_dwelling
