[Tagging] Simplify building:part areas

Hello. I am thinking in ways to reduce the complexity that introduces the mapping of parts of buildings. For example: * If one part is inscribed within a larger one, can I use simple ways overlapped and leave to the render decide how to draw them or should I create a multipolygon for the larger

Re: [Tagging] Simplify building:part areas

Would any one support a proposal for a new tag building:part:levels=* to separate the levels of the building from the part as in this case: way1 {building=residential, building:part=yes, building:levels=4, building:part:levels=3} way2 {building:part=yes, building:levels=4} way2 is inside way1

Re: [Tagging] dispersed settlements / scattered settlements

Also note that, at least here in Spain, in a dispersed settlement the 'streets' usually have no name and the postal address of the building is given by the name of the settlement and a housenumber. So this is a valid postal address "Lugar Anocheza, 10" where "Lugar" means place.

Re: [Tagging] Sample tagging for highways with no lane markings

Hi Jose The facts of be able (or not) to overtake and drive in the middle (as Paul says) are interesting but not necessary relevant for the discussion (IMO). Anyway, for your example of the LR-333 road, most of the time it isn't enough wide for two cars to pass comfortably (see here

Re: [Tagging] Sample tagging for highways with no lane markings

I'm not completely sure of what you want tou express. When you say "a oneway one-wide-lane", I think you refers to a oneway=yes, lanes=1 (correct me if not). I'm referring to a two way road (oneway=no) with enough width for two approaching cars to pass each other without having to slow down or use

Re: [Tagging] Sample tagging for highways with no lane markings

I agree with the solution mentioned by Thorsten. The keys oneway=no + [lanes=2] + division=no have much more sense to me than tagging lanes=1 + oneway=no for this kind of highway (just the same width that a two lanes way but without division). A proper value could serve to indicate also that the
