Re: [Tagging] the nature of large-scale paid edits (was Re: Service road)

Every time I've contacted one of the Amazon's team, they have responded and taken responsibility to update their edits. We should first try to contact them before going through DWG. This thread shows the number of opinions on how to map service roads. BTW my driveway is a shared driveway. I've

[Tagging] Access Aisle Proposal

I have closed the voting for the Access Aisle Proposal. [1] Final results of the voting are: It was *approved* with 14 votes for, 2 votes against and 1 abstention with an 82% approval. I will start integrating the proposal into the wiki as documented in Proposal Process.[2] The iD developers

Re: [Tagging] How to tag pedestrian lanes?

I'm not familiar with the laws of the country the picture [1] listed in the first post on this thread, but the diagonal yellow lines look to me like a don't park here rather than a sidewalk. Even the one pedestrian in the picture isn't walking the diagonal yellow lines. Can someone confirm that

[Tagging] Proposal: Access Aisle

I'd like to propose a tagging scheme to tag parking lot access aisle. Access aisles are marked areas often used between handicap parking spaces but also used to indicate pedestrian access between parking spaces. The proposal can be found on the wiki [1] [1]

Re: [Tagging] Proposal: Access Aisle

Thanks for all the comments. SomeoneElse wrote on the proposal talk page: The page currently uses both "handicap" and "disabled"; I'd suggest using "disabled" throughout (see e.g. https://www.gov.uk/apply-blue-badge ) as that's the terminology used in UK versions of English. I'm not exactly sure

Re: [Tagging] Tagging estuaries: estuary=yes or river=estuary?

A friend, who works in this area of research, pointed me to an easy to read article [1] on estuaries. According to the article there are five types of estuaries based on their geology, coastal plain, bar-built, deltas, tectonic and fjords. (Note I'm skipping the classification based on water

Re: [Tagging] Tagging estuaries: estuary=yes or river=estuary?

Looking at the US NHD estuary is broadly defined. For example, The Skagit River flows through my county into the Puget Sound in Washington State. I would expect the delta area, where it empties into the sound to be defined as an estuary. And it is. But apparently so is the whole of Puget Sound.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - footway=link

First off I like this proposal and agree that it be applied more broadly. However there is a difference between a motorway=link (and similar) and a footway=link. A motorway=link is a physical feature unlike a footway=link. A footway=link is more of an attempt to bridge vector representation of a

[Tagging] eelgrass

How should eelgrass[1] be tagged? I see that wetland=reedbed [2] has been used in tidal areas mainly in Europe but also in the US but they are two different plants. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zostera [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_bed -- @osm_washington www.snowandsnow.us
