Re: [Tagging] Proposal to Change Road Classification, Road Surface, Road Condition, and Add Number of Lanes

Wow Alberto, you have put a lot of thought into this. I agree its needed and think the model would serve us a lot better than the way its done now. But I see a couple of problems, first, we have a huge data set using the existing model. Very hard to change that. Secondly, I suspect not all

Re: [Tagging] Proposal to Change Road Classification, Road Surface, Road Condition, and Add Number of Lanes

I truly find this proposal to be logical and well thought out. However, I think that there may be better ways to pursue these goals other than replacing the millions of ways on OSM tagged with the current schema. That said, I think there is room to add new tags that serves a similar purpose to

Re: [Tagging] Proposal to Change Road Classification, Road Surface, Road Condition, and Add Number of Lanes

You obviously did a lot of work in preparing your proposal and for that I thank you Alberto. However, I'm afraid I have to agree with Tom. To redefine the current highway tagging structure to the extent you suggest would be next to impossible given the free-thinking nature of many mappers, and any

In the UK you can add a fourth one to that list - where Royal Mail think you are, for the purposes of addressing post. Doesn't correspond to any of the first three options. This is similar in some pats of the US. USPS addresses are completely different from the other three. On Sun, Mar 6, 2016

[Tagging] Proposal to Change Road Classification, Road Surface, Road Condition, and Add Number of Lanes

Dear OSM staff, contributors, and users: I have read the definitions, concepts and description that OSM uses to characterize (tag) roads and noticed that OSM does not establish the difference between inter-urban (rural) roads and urban roads (comprising mostly avenues and streets). Therefore,
