[talk-au] Question - restricted turning restrictions

Can anyone give a suggestion for how to tag a turning restriction that only applies to long vehicles? The basic tags I understand: restriction = no_left_turn type = restriction I have added this exception from the turn restrictions plugin: except

station. I’m inclined to return this section of highway from motorway to trunk. What does everyone else think? On 20 Dec 2015, at 9:11 am, Mark Pulley <mrpul...@lizzy.com.au> wrote: > On 19 Dec 2015, at 1:20 pm, Andy Townsend <ajt1...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Just for

[talk-au] LPI Base Map road names

I’ve been adding some names from the LPI base map. I was wondering how ‘accurate’ the names are. Most of the time the names look OK but I’ve noticed a couple of issues. 1. Occasionally the name of the street is mis-spelt. Sometimes it is an obvious misspelling, but I’ve put a fixme tag on at

Re: [talk-au] Roadside rest areas tagged as camp sites

Quoting Nick Hocking : tents=yes/no amd caravans=yes/no can be used. I can't find any specific tags for campervans (taginfo only has 3 instances worldwide of campervan/campervans) - presumably caravans=yes/no will cover this. I think that if they are signed on the

Re: [talk-au] Roadside rest areas tagged as camp sites

I've changed a few of these 'camp sites' to 'rest areas' when I've come across them. Many of them were added prior to the existence of the rest area tag. I've got no issues with these being re-tagged. Quoting Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com>: I think the tag 'highway=rest_area' should replace

Re: [talk-au] Roadside rest areas tagged as camp sites

Quoting Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com>: _Truck Parking_ Some places have had the name 'Truck Parking' applied to them (service roads, parking areas and rest areas too). Not good. My confusion here is does this mean truck only? I think other users may have the same issue. And some rest areas have

Re: [talk-au] Our work in last two weeks

I generally split these ways. A couple of reasons: 1. Traffic is generally not meant to make U-turns here. Occasionally there is an explicit no-U-turn sign, but most of the time there is a double white line extending from the end of the median strip preventing turning. 2. If a route relation

[talk-au] Deletion of informal paths by NSW NPWS

I know this has been discussed on the list before, but the NSW NPWS has deleted some informal paths at Apsley Falls (Oxley Wild Rivers National Park). These were deleted in 2022 by a NPWS employee, and after discussion were reverted. I re-surveyed them later that year. These paths have been

Re: [talk-au] Deletion of informal paths by NSW NPWS

A brief summary of the options for this type of situation (not just this particular edit, but similar edits in the past and probably future): 1. Revert the change sets (in the absence of more information) 2. Partial revert, with a change in tags 3. Leave the deletion as it is. For this
