I've been digging through the wiki and taginfo too since I read your last
post. Haven't found anything either.

 

I guess nobody has bothered tagging storm drains yet?

 

manhole=drain is clearly wrong I would say.

 

I'll probably go with man_made=storm_drain if I don't find anything better.

How should a stormwater drain be tagged?

You could use kerb=normal (a value being discussed) to indicate it is not
accessible to vehicles (car/bike/wheelchair). Since I can't find a tag for
stormwater drains, perhaps just add a note (or propose a new tag :). I'd say
it should be tagged both as a kerb and a stormwater drain.


I'm kind of curious about this now. The closest tag in use might be
manhole=drain, though to me manhole is what it sounds like, a way for
maintenance personnel to climb down a hole to access pipes and equipment.
Oftentimes storm drains don't have true manholes but just a grate that can
be removed to clean the storm drain out (as in the above picture). Of
course, this wouldn't be the worse logical inconsistency in our tagging
scheme. :)

One proposal [1] suggests using man_made=storm_drain "for storm drain in the
street", though it has no uses according to Taginfo.
