Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Rideshare Access

Clare: this is a good discussion to have. It seems as though the emergence of rideshare services is still being addressed at various legal levels but, at least in the UK, rideshare vehicles are not classed taxis and so are not ordinarily entitled to use bus/taxi lanes. If situations exist

Re: [Tagging] Proposal to change key:man_made to key:human_made

Pros and cons aside, “human-made” is not a term that is in current widespread usage. As a native English GB speaker, I find it clunky and somewhat distracting. A better gender neutral term might be “artificial”, which is already a synonym for “man-made” and is already widely used. Indeed,

Re: [Tagging] Deprecate water=pond?

Agreed: it is often not possible to tell if a pond/lake is artificial or not. Some lakes are hundreds of years old and the environment has adapted to now appear as though it were a natural feature. Reservoir does not seem appropriate for an artificial pond. In my experience, reservoirs are

Re: [Tagging] Deprecate water=pond?

Re: [Tagging] craft vs office for service enterprises/establishments.

For me: office=electrician should be used for mapping the location of larger electricians company, e.g., as Daniel says, where they employ office staff and, likely, more than one electrician works at the company. The primary function of the tag is that this location acts as an office with

[Tagging] Railway tagging: detail key

Hi all, I've noticed substantial use (99,297 instances) of the "detail" key, but it is undocumented on the Wiki. Nearly all uses (99.96%) of this key are detail=track [1], which is associated with railways [2]. The key is predominantly used in France (77.6% of uses [3]) but also elsewhere
