[Talk-us] MassGIS import: condition tag

2011-07-15 Thread Nathan Edgars II
The MassGIS import included a condition tag: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/9602415 Presumably this is something in their data, but what use is it to us? There's no definition of what 'intolerable' means, and no way to know what value to use if the road is repaved.

I've started using forward/backward roles rather than north/south/east/west on relations for state highways, due to JOSM's relation editor supporting sorting by them and Nakor's tool (which was already less convenient, given that you had to upload to OSM and get the relation number) being
