if you're talking about static (OSM-)data this is indeed simple, otherwise it requires quite some effort: nodes are deleted, moved, etc., and this much more if the (elsewhere) attached data is not visible in the OSM-Editor. > Also, in this > particular instance, a traffic jam might not really apply to a > specific way, but could be a whole new area, so it could simply be an > unconnected geographical area over the top. If it does apply to a specific way (and direction!, which is quite often the case especially for dual carriage ways = high traffic), slightly moving the way's position might completely change the jamming indication (e.g. from inbound to outbound traffic). I believe this information is either valueable, then it should (could) be in our database, or it is not and then I don't care if it breaks somewhere else then OSM. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
