The concept is quite old http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Bridges_and_ Tunnels About 4000 relations are tagged. I think with the current rendering in OSM carto of the outline (man_made=bridge) most mapper will stop with the outline. One main problem (bridge name is not highway name) is elegantly solved with the outline. I am not sure which questions are not answered by finding all ways inside the outline with the same layer. -- Holger ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
