Re: [Tagging] Tagging village sign

[John F. Eldredge]

In the USA, such signs are more commonly at or near the edge of the community, 
so that you see what community you are entering, rather than at its center. 
Also, while some communities have a public square, not all do so.

There are lots of these signs near where I live. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Village_sign for examples.

I've always used man_made=village_sign to tag them -- which seems to
have a number of uses according to
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=village+sign#values
(although a good proportional of them are probably down to me).

The village name shown on the sign should also be recorded, and for
that I've used name=*. I know that perhaps doesn't quite fit with the
usual use of name=*, as here it's the name being shown, rather than
the name of the sign, but I thought it was close enough. But if anyone
has any better suggestions there...

[Tagging] Tagging village sign

[pmailkeey .]

Hi all,

Tips on tagging a village sign please.

Village sign: an ornate sign located fairly central to the village - such
as on the village green.
