The inspector shows wrong data. Seems to me that the system was not updated after the last proposal changes and now the tags are mixed up. http://osm-tmc.infoware.de/tmc/?view=tmc&lon=7.60801&lat=47.58486&zoom=16&overlays=tmc_database,missing_tmc_links,tmc_links,tmc_points,ways_with_tmc_tags_ok,link_ways_with_too_many_ends,ways_with_tmc_tags_error,nodes_with_tmc_tags_ok,nodes_with_tmc_tags_error,connection_and_end_nodes_ok,connection_and_end_nodes_error,ways_with_tmc_tags_non_areas,ways_with_tmc_tags_areas,ways_in_rels_with_tmc_tags,tmc_areas,nodes_with_tmc_tags The DE:*-* and DE:*+* need to be switch the sides of the road. Cheers fly By the way: Where is the tmc location at the boarder ? At the boarder control or at the real boarder ? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
