Re: [talk-au] Shared Zones (Or, Living Streets in car parks?)

I agree with Andrew's tagging guidelines update. I was never happy with tagging a way as a "living street" when it was obviously a driveway with a sign slapped onto it to basically say "drivers, please be careful, pedestrians might cross at any spot". On rendered data, it often makes it look

Hey Graeme, Spotting your change certainly reminded me of the shared zone signs I've been seeing, but not because it is tagged incorrectly. It's been on my to do list since I nearly got run over eating a Bunnings sausage over Xmas! I think that this is a good example of a true "living

Re: [talk-au] Shared Zones (Or, Living Streets in car parks?)

Yeah I tend to agree that sometimes the road is more appropriately tagged based on it's hierarchy (eg. highway=service + service=parking_aisle, highway=service + service=alley, etc) rather than living_street just because it's signed as a shared zone. For shared zone signs you should always add

[talk-au] Shared Zones (Or, Living Streets in car parks?)

Hello, I am increasingly encountering shared zone signs in carparks, driveways and other minor service ways. The tagging guidelines suggest that shared zones are the equivalent of a highway=living_street, but I'm not sure that is the case. When Shared Zones are applied to shopping strips,
