Re: [Tagging] How are busways mapped, which are not guideways?
Initial effect of separate highway=busway would be that all data consumers that have not added support to this new tag would not display them. Due to nature of busways in most cases it would not be deeply harmful effect or very disruptive, but for some unknown time (possibly very long) highway=busway would be not rendered. Note that various data consumer are not obligated to render anything and vote on approving proposal is not changing anything. But if highway=busway is an improvement to our tagging schema I would support such chane. "tagging schema allows for differentiation between long roadways in which buses may travel on carrying passengers, and short short service roads buses may travel on to enter a garage" Is service=busway capable of this distinction? AFAIK yes, "short short service roads buses may travel on to enter a garage" seems to be service=driveway Oct 20, 2020, 17:51 by tagging@openstreetmap.org: > I'm actually the author of the highway=busway proposal.

I'm actually the author of the highway=busway proposal. I don't actually work with the database, so I don't know how disruptive creating a new highway=* tag would be. Having a separate highway=busway tag just seemed obvious to me. I would not hierarchically place busways under highway=service due to their role in carry large amounts of people to any number of destinations. However so, these idiosyncrasies will not bother me so long so the tagging schema allows for differentiation between long roadways in which buses may travel on carrying passengers, and short short service roads buses may travel on to enter a garage.

Re: [Tagging] How are busways mapped, which are not guideways?
I agree that highway=bus_guideway deserved it's own tag, since it is halfway to a rubber-tyred light metro, and quite similar to the "people mover" systems often found at airports, which often use concrete guidways and rubber-tired vehicles. But since other busways serve the same public transit function and are exclusively for public transportation use, they are functionally similar from the perspective of a rider or a mapper. And there are already some examples of highway=bus_guideway getting misused for other busways, so it would be helpful to settle on the best way to tag these: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/4226#issue-724131173 -- Joseph Eisenberg On Mon, Oct 19, 2020 at 4:02 AM Mateusz Konieczny via Tagging < tagging@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > > 18 paź 2020, 20:22 od joseph.eisenb...@gmail.com: > > While the current tagging is ok, it seems inconsistent that > highway=bus_guideway gets its own tag, while other busways which are > similar in function are tagged as highway=service. > > Given that rail-like bus guideway is > drastically different in its structure from > roads I see no problem with it getting a > separate highway value. > ___ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging > ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Re: [Tagging] How are busways mapped, which are not guideways?
Here's an example of an exclusive busway, which is only used by the Orange Line / G Line bus service in suburban Los Angeles: https://media.metro.net/riding/images/LinePage_orange_line_header.jpg The busway is a 2-lane paved surface which is exclusively for public transit buses. There is a parallel cycleway and footway, but no sidewalks. Private buses and other vehicles are not permitted on the busway. It used to be an abandoned railway line which was converted to a busway. Currently it is mapped as highway=service + service=busway + access=no + bus=designated - https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/443134693 While the current tagging is ok, it seems inconsistent that highway=bus_guideway gets its own tag, while other busways which are similar in function are tagged as highway=service. - Joseph Eisenberg On Sun, Oct 18, 2020 at 1:38 AM Mateusz Konieczny via Tagging < tagging@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > > > > Oct 18, 2020, 10:20 by dieterdre...@gmail.com: > > > > sent from a phone > > On 18.

This applies to dedicated road (in my city some major roads have sidewalks, cycleways, oneway carriageway for general traffic and bus dedicated road between them - sometimes also with trams).

Re: [Tagging] How are busways mapped, which are not guideways?
When you say busway is that just a road that only busses are allowed to use, and specifically signposted for busses? if so then the suggested you noted of highway=* + bus=designated + access=no would be correct.
