There's no need to do that. OSM is a spatial database: you can find out whether a sign is to the German design or the Austrian design by querying whether the node is in Germany or Austria. Requiring the mapper to add prefixes shifts the burden from the data consumer to the mapper, which is against the principles of OSM. Of course, if someone has erected an Austrian traffic sign in Germany, that might be a good reason to use a country prefix. :) I saw a shop in Switzerland that had made traffic signs into stools... cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/More-human-readable-values-for-traffic-signs-tp5857897p5858265.html Sent from the Tagging mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
