Re: [talk-au] tagging of "demolished" roads
This seems like a good case where the road is being actively dismantled. I think the only reason to keep it at all is where you can see the ex-road in imagery, so you want people who are editing to know that this thing doesn't actually exist. - Ben.

Re: [talk-au] tagging of "demolished" roads
I would recommend (1) changing highway=* to demolished:highway=* (2) adding note tag explaining situation (3) deleting geometry in far future, when there is no risk of remapping it See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:demolished%3Dyes https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:demolished: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Trolltag 26 Nov 2019, 13:01 by ianst...@iinet.net.au: > > Nanga Rd in WA’s south west has been affected by bauxite mining and has been > re-routed.

I’m hesitant to simply delete the old alignment, and am wondering whether there is an appropriate tag like “demolished=yes” to use on it instead ? Deleting the old alignment is certainly "correct", but if there's still imagery around that shows the old location then someone might re-add it by mistake. I'd suggest instead "demolished:highway=blah" on the old route - it'll explain to future mappers why it isn't there any more. I'd prefer a lifecycle tag to "demolished=yes" here because something that wasn't looking for a "demolished=yes" tag might still think that there was a road there. There are some pages in the OSM wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:demolished: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix (that's the most coherent one) https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Comparison_of_life_cycle_concepts (that's a bit of a mess) Best Regards, Andy ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
