Re: [OSM-talk-be] Renderen van addr:flats

The tagging is correct, it is just not supposed to be on area from the wiki perspective. But indeed I don't see why it is incorrect when a building is only containing this series of flats and only one entrance ? And if that's incorrect why are they rendering addr:flats on area and not node ?! ^^'

Great to learn about your project. :-) I would think that this page of our Belgium convention could be useful to you : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Belgium . It list our current convention for how to map road signs around here (the picture on the wiki are generally in dutch,

Cool news that they gave the authorization to use it ! And it is always great to have some interest on the telecom side. :D I'll give what i know and some opinion on the tagging. ^_^ For the tags to use, there was a (rather long) discussion in October 2018 on Tagging mailing list (

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Tagging proposal for cycling highways (Fietssnelwegen)

To answer Joost question about relevance in other regions : yes it is relevant. Wallonia recently started to plan and implement these "cycle highway" to reach Brussels from multiple different locations (with protected cycleway along motorway, national road or railway). They want to connect and

Re: [OSM-talk-be] parking_space only for electric vehicle sign combination e9b

As far as i know, there is no legal access limitation in Belgium to such space (it is only advisory to not park there if not charging - that's why we can't do anything when people park on them, except if there is a sign "do not park or you'll be towed" or other sign that have legal value). So

@Marc These parking along street are indeed often not "amenity=parking" but probably more related to parking:lane tag (tagged on the highway itself). Technically it is suggested to only map these kind of roadside parking with the parking:lane

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Neighbourhoods in Ghent mapped as a point

Yes the node approach is only done when the boundaries are unknown (and so this is an approximation) but in this case, as we have the boundaries as open data, we could add them indeed. You can see it in the wiki page too . Thus, creating a polygon

Re: [OSM-talk-be] bridge or tunnel?

@joost schouppe To me that's indeed a bridge, as you see the same structure as on the motorway bridges : a platform supported by pillars A tunnel is generally something that was dig (removing earth/material) and consolidated from the inside (most often with concrete) like a subway tunnel if

Re: [OSM-talk-be] bridge or tunnel?

I agree with the above answer that except #2, all are bridge. One other method to identify a bridge is to check the structure (either with a "tablier"/bridge deck which goes from one support to the next, or with arch like one of the example...). There are typical bridge structure, while most

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Importing polygons of administrative boundaries for Belgium into OSM

Hello, To me this dataset is not necessarily better than what we have in OSM (as we corrected some border by field survey where this dataset is wrong). I would never "replace" blindly all existing geometry by this one. I think we can say that we are more or less correct (i never saw errors

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Looking how tagging "ijskelder"

Not being doesn't mean it is badly tagged, it just mean that the map on the website (which is only one map out of many) doesn't show this kind of details. OpenStreetMap is still a database first, and not a map. Try to not "map for the renderer" but rather stay with correct tagging. And if you want

Re: [OSM-talk-be] landuse & highways

For what i understand, the landuse=grass is mostly a "landcover=grass" tag which was never properly named (and thus it is used like that). The surface=grass alone doesn't mean much in OSM as the surface tag is (i think) only a secondary tag (adding information to other object like highway=* ).

I'm not supporting the addition of this WMS neither, as it is more imprecise than others sources for most of the data. So the question about the license is not really important in that case. The regional sources for buildings, parcels, streets,... are almost always with a better precision. One

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Land-use mapping with OSM in Belgium

I understand your point, and that's why we should say if something must be done or not : describing the best practices. For landuse inside an existing residential area, it is always possible to just change the residential zone into a multipolygon relation and make the new landuse (like the park)
