Re: [talk-au] Tagging for the router

I'd fix the fact the oneways are pointed in the wrong direction, change trunk to trunk_link and add lanes=1. I'm pretty sure noname is a no no these days as well. After all that, i'd only tag a turn restriction if there is a sign advising such. On Wed, Aug 31, 2016 at 8:49 PM, Nick Hocking

[talk-au] Spit Bridge road name

Sort of on the subject of road names. Are there any Sydneysiders who can tell me the name of the road itself on the Spit Bridge? It seems to be different on both sides and LPI basemap doesn't show any name on the Bridge itself. At the moment the road itself is named "The Spit Bridge", along with

I would been inclined to go with trunk too since it's an A road and has local access like you said. There are some missing one way tags and a section not joined at the southern end too. On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 10:07 PM, Mark Pulley wrote: > I’ve now been past this area to

Pretty sure I read that section has just opened. They're probably someone from Skyscrapercity or Aussie-Highways google group who are on the ball. I admit I tend to leave proposed and construction ways unjoined, which is a trap if someone else just changes the tags without looking closely at the

Someone probably got tangled up with the light rail at some point. I know there are occasions i've seen massive bridges where people forgot to split them at the end and it's quite easy to pick up the wrong relation at times. You are correct that a normal rail line should be railway=rail. I'd

[talk-au] Railways

Hi all, I've recently noticed a tenancy for people to tag railways as disused, even when all traces have been gone for decades. This is probably because railway=abandoned has been removed from the rendering on openstreetmap.org (to try and stop people tagging abandoned railways..) Just a reminder

Re: [talk-au] Question - names of motorways leaving Sydney

That sounds consistent with what the rest of the country does with alphanumerics. Don't forget to check the route relation matches as well (if they have one). If people want to refer to the road as the M4 then it's still plain to see in the ref tag and rendering. On Sun, Sep 7, 2014 at 4:10 PM,
