used by others - building=power_station. To me power is energy. It's not a physical entity. Therefore it shouldn't be used as a key. & so to follow on I think: power=tower should be pylon=electricity power=line should be cable=electricity Remember, we're meant to be mapping

ven if a way, that you're allowed to cycle down, has those obstructions you mention, it's still a cycleway. You point out the obstructions by using additional tags such as width=, surface=, barrier=, etc... Question to all: Is there a tag for 'sharp bend'? There's one for ste
