I'd vote for introducing a new tag, that is highway=ferry_link, rather than trying to use an existing one that does not describe the object correctly. There used to be and there will be disputes on this topic unless we have it fixed. Introducing a new tagging scheme will cause some issues for a

CDPs are used by Census and other Federal agencies, OMB in particular. They are used as a tool to administer programs, for example Federal block grants. I'm not sure they have much use beyond that. State/tribal/county/municipal boundaries OTOH are much more useful and likely to reflect a consensus

Shouldn't we be discussing this on the tagging mailing list rather than the talk-us mailing list? After all, ferries are all around the world, so we should discuss this at the tagging mailing list rather than here if we want to introduce a new highway=ferry_link tag. -Compdude From: Ivan

Probably, but in this conversation's defense, Washington State has the world's largest ferry fleet by far, so it's much more a Washingtonism than anything. On Fri, Nov 8, 2013 at 7:17 PM, Evin Fairchild evindf...@gmail.com wrote: Shouldn’t we be discussing this on the tagging mailing list

If we have consensus on what the US thinks is appropriate, then I agree that it belongs on the tag list. Does anyone have objection to bringing a proposal to create a highway=ferry_link tag? I'd especially like to hear from people working with routing (that's you Telenav) Is ferry_link the

But let's not forget that there's lots of ferries in Europe too! This would not just be a tag for use here on ferry routes here in the Salish Sea, but also ones in other parts of the world. -Compdude From: Paul Johnson [mailto:ba...@ursamundi.org] Sent: Friday, November 8, 2013 6:20 PM

Re the ferry waiting areas, I've been tagging each lane as an individual way with the tags highway=service, the lane # in the name=* tag, and have made it be one-way. I have also done this for each lane going into the tollbooths. See the Mukilteo ferry terminal [1] and Edmonds ferry terminal [2]
