Hi everyone, Following this sunny summer, sometimes cycling along country roads, here comes the need to reinforce the tagging of utility poles holding telecom lines.
OSM already has power=pole and past proposals have shown it's not necessary to change it. Poles don't always support power lines and tagging is needed for other utilities. Existing man_made=utility_pole sounds to be the most meaningful and this proposal is now looking for your comments about it https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Utility_poles_proposal See this French example taking advantage of proposed tagging to show power and telecom utilities on the same map http://www.gespot.fr/#12.7/46.04989/6.13389 On this particular place, it was possible to make low voltage power distribution poles support an overhead transmission fibre optic cable: http://www.gespot.fr/#17.84/46.066428/6.140358 I'm not sure to cover all existing situations to describe other-than-power poles with the 4 combinations I propose to replace. Feel free to complete the list here or on Talk page please All the best François
