Actually, that's why I want to change it. I think having only one value (driving_side=opposite (or inverted)) would be better to tag highways. It is a little shameful to admit it, but sometimes I confuse left and right; so by restricting this tag's values there wouldn't be any confusion, and restrict it's use only to highways that actually need them (besides making it simpler to use). This tag never went through a formal proposal process, and have very few uses, so I think there is no impediment for changing it's use. Of course, another option is to restrict *left/right* values to countries and the *inverted* value to highways, but if there is no interest to applying this tag to the countries, then it might as well be restricted to highways. 2014-03-22 8:09 GMT-03:00 Tobias Knerr <[email protected]>: > On 21.03.2014 21:07, John Packer wrote: > > There are, in my city, a couple of streets that have an /inverted/ > > driving side. > > So I am going to extend this tag's documentation to include ways that > > have it's driving side opposite to it's country's normal driving side. > > That's a good and useful extension, as has already been mentioned on the > key's talk page.
