That's essentially the same as in Brazil. Mapping the perimeter would not replace mapping maxspeeds for each way individually. > For settlements (in urbanism / settlement geographic terms) my suggestion is > to use place=* on an area. Wouldn't that make users confused when reading search results? The place=* tag is already used in cities' admin centre node and (sometimes, perhaps incorrectly) admin boundary relation. > Please do not use landuse=residential for huge areas with all kind of > landuses inside. That's precisely what we want to avoid. Maybe we need a new tag for that. > cheers, > Martin > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging > -- Fernando Trebien +55 (51) 9962-5409 "Nullius in verba." _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
