In Germany Taxis can't use bus-lanes by default, there must be an additional sign to allow them (which is very often there). German law also makes a distinction between a bus operating as a public service vehicle (e.g. this sign: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Zeichen_245.svg&filetimestamp=20060729030602 and this sign: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Zusatzzeichen_1026-32.svg&filetimestamp=20060809232509 ) and buses as a vehicle type (e.g. these signs: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Zeichen_145.svg/120px-Zeichen_145.svg.png http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Zusatzzeichen_1024-14.svg/120px-Zusatzzeichen_1024-14.svg.png ) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
