[Tagging] Light rail station tagging

2016-11-19 Thread Michael Tsang
Dear all, I tagged the public_transport=stop_position's on the light rail network in my region with railway=tram_stop, because the wiki mentions that "Insert a node with railway=tram_stop and name=* on the tram track (railway=tram) at the position where the stop is located." However, the light

Hi all, This light-rail station is above ground near an airport in South Korea. http://osm.org/go/546KGWeqC--?m I originally mapped the light rail (two tracks) and added a node at each station point (so, two nodes per station, one in each direction). A new mapper has done a nice job of the

Where I come from[1], light rail is characterized by longer stop intervals and right of way and dedicated infrastructure as a rule, compared to tram. If that's not the same for the US, then it may not be a good idea to have dedicated tagging for it. Martijn [1] That's generally a sensible

The many hybrid systems (operating as tramways with shared right of way and street level stops in inner cities and with dedicated infrastructure and exclusive right of way - I mentioned some examples in another response) don't make the situation any clearer. I am inclined to not expand the tagging
