(3) I don't like acronyms >> - psv > public_service or public_transport >> - hov > carpool >> - hgv > heavy_goods > > while I would support this move, I think > we should spell these out and not reduce the information > so psv should become "public_service_vehicle", I think that "_vehicle" is unnecessary in the context of defining specific land transport mode. That is why I dropped it. We also know that agricultural=* and emergency=* are refering to vehicles here. >> - hov > carpool > "hov" -> "heavy_occupancy_vehicle" not heavy but high > (this is not about carpooling but about the number of people in the car) I disagree. That is what carpooling is about. From wikipedia.org: High-occupancy_vehicle_lane > A high-occupancy vehicle lane (also known as an HOV lane, carpool lane,[...]) > is a restricted traffic lane reserved at peak travel times or longer for the > exclusive use of vehicles with a driver and one or more passengers. From wikipedia.org: Carpool > This article is about the shared use of cars by persons with similar travel > needs. [...] > Carpooling (also car-sharing, ride-sharing, lift-sharing and covoiturage), is > the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. > [...] > The majority of carpool commutes (over 60%) are "fam-pools" with family > members. So I will stand with "carpool" for now as your dismissal does not convince me. I could also go with an easy "with_passengers" / "vehicle_with_passengers". I could even go with formal "high_occupancy" / "high_occupancy_vehicle" as (almost) anything is better than "hov". >> - hgv > heavy_goods > hgv -> heavy_goods_vehicle I keep "heavy_goods"; otherwise with "heavy_goods_vehicle" please consider: goods=* -> light_goods_vehicle? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
