with a direction (bicycle:forward). Thank you for the pointer. If I read things correctly, it looks like the following tags should achieve what is needed: oneway=yes oneway:bicycle=no oneway:bus=no 2016-12-20 11:34 GMT+01:00 Sebastian Arcus <s.ar...@open-t.co.uk <mailto:s.ar...@open-t.co.uk>

[OSM-talk] Applying different restrictions in different directions on a road

2016-12-20 Thread Sebastian Arcus
I think I have asked this before a long time ago here - but I can't find the original message, or remember the answer I'm afraid. I am trying to add tags to a road which has permission for all vehicles forward, but only buses and bicycles backward. I can't get my head around how to do this.

as if the area is riddled with lots and lots of villages or something, on every field. Maybe I should contact the Navit developers and suggest that "locality" tag is not rendered any more in Navit. Best wishes, Andrew On Nov 21, 2016 6:43 PM, "Sebastian Arcus" <s.ar...@op

I'm looking at the following section of OSM: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/42.9959/-8.3908 I see lots and lots of locality names, on what the satellite imagery confirms to be otherwise just empty fields and forests. I'm pretty sure I've seen this elsewhere on OSM, in another part of

2014-02-01 Thread Sebastian Arcus
Note that if you delete the node, the city name will no longer be rendered on osm.org http://osm.org or Mapquest Open. Not sure about other renderings but I'm guessing a lot of them do the same thing. Another way of fixing the nominatim problem is to create a boundary relation for the city.

2014-01-29 Thread Sebastian Arcus
If a search is done for Fortuna, CA in OSM, two different entities show up at the top, for the same thing. One is from a TIGER import, one is from a GNIS import. One is a node the other one is for the boundaries of the place. I assume a place doesn't need to have both a node and a way. If I
