Hi all,
We (as in Polish OSM community) have been remapping for a while now and
also repairing our road network. As a starting point for this effort we
wanted to create relations for major roads.
It's all good but some issues have been coming to light during this
work. One of them I posted last
These are all good arguments but I think we should give more credit to
mappers. Sorry if I'm being boring but I will again come back to
OSMonitor reports that Polish community is now using for fixing roads -
since I started publishing the reports every day I am shocked by how
quickly people fix

No. We only create relations when the ref tag is not sufficient. We
don't recommend that relations be created for roads otherwise, and
anyone doing anything with the data should not expect relations to be
there.
How would you define
Hi all,
This is a manual response (i.e. no references header) since I have
just subscribed to the list.
Rather than long discussions about renaming or merging tags (e.g.
drinkable, potable), perhaps we should accept that there will be
things for which more than one tag name is in use, and
Hi all,
As part of the Poland remapping effort I have implemented a reporting
system called OSMonitor which analyzes road network in Poland in OSM
data and produces reports. Recently one user requested additional
validation - checking if ways in a relation for a specific road contain
proper ref

Hi Johan,
Here is another idea that Richard F. pointed me to on IRC:

I strongly believe that some mix of what you are writing about, what

David,
As I wrote - I am only producing reports for Poland and for my country
there are very few complex situations and it really is straightforward
to clearly see data duplication - having ref on ways has no value
because everything is expressed in relations.
If you have a tool that says US
As I wrote before in this thread in response to the hiking trail example
- this is great, I myself love mapping forest tracks for mountain biking
and stuff.
But maybe I should have made it clearer in the first place that I'm
talking about major roads - this stuff really should be in tip top shape
