[Tagging] Multiple transformers

Is there a way to indicate that a power pole has multiple transformers such as this one? http://oi65.tinypic.com/2rfu8ly.jpg ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Re: [Tagging] railway=level_crossing with in-street trams?

Where a tram line shares a right-of-way with the street, that is, where I can drive my car down the tracks, no crossing tag is necessary as the whole street is one big level crossing. Where it's separate, railway=level_crossing should be used. There is no need to specify a tram crossing as thi

Re: [Tagging] address property of features

I"m not sure I agree. Let's say a store has three entrances: 2, 4 and 6 Main Street. The store uses it's main entrance, 4 Main Street, as it's address. Are you suggesting using the addr:housenumber key four times: a node at each entrance in addition to a tag on the store? Now you've tagged

Re: [Tagging] Landuse for vacant lots

Thanks for the input everone. I like the idea of grass/scrub/grassland depending on the site if there is no trace of the demolished buildings. If there is still something like a foundation, or slabs of broken concrete or other debris, then it would be tagged as a brownfield. There seems to be

[Tagging] Landuse for vacant lots

What is the most appropriate landuse tag for vacant lots in urban areas? That is, land that was previously occupied by a house or other building that has been demolished, no trace of the building remains, and the land is currently overgrown or covered in untended grass. In the past I have used

Re: [Tagging] access: motorcar and goods, how to read the hierarchy

I don't see anything wrong with the hierarchy. It was mentioned that there are signs in Germany that forbid motorcars to pass. Are you sure that these signs aren't prohibiting all vehicles from passing? This may be the case even if there's a picture of a car on the sign. The motorcar key is

Re: [Tagging] Center turning lanes: centre_turn_lane=yes method vs. lanes:both_ways method

I've always used lanes=5 centre_turn_lane=yes as a shortcut that implies lanes=5 lanes:forward=2 lanes:both_ways=1 lanes:backward=2 turn:lanes:both_ways=left It's just a way to reduce five tags to two in a common, special-case situation. Lanes can be any odd number greater than one.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Power pole extension

If two-phase power isn't currently in use anywhere, it simply means we won't see any instances of the tag phases=2, just like how we'll never see phases=17. It doesn't make anything fundamentally wrong with the tagging scheme. I believe this is a good proposal that should be voted on. ___

Re: [Tagging] self-service laudry machines a camp and caravan sites

All washing machines have a load capacity in kg. It may not be printed on the front of the unit but it can be found in the owners' manual or online. I would caution against the key "Laundromat:10kg_sidewasher" because they aren't always round numbers like that. For example this triple-load ma
