Hi I'm new here so forgive me if this has been discussed before.
I have access to a suitably licensed dataset from Birmingham City Council showing details of Variable Message Signs <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-message_sign#/media/File:Avoid_London_(2005-07-07).jpg> (overhead or roadside electronic displays of matrix text or pictograms for motorists), but I cannot find anywhere on the wiki a comprehensive tagging schema for them (Unfortunately the location data is way out when examined with satellite imagery so it looks like a manual job rather than an import. There are about 1200 items in the dataset) My initial ideas are along the following lines: traffic_sign=variable_message traffic_sign:forward =variable_message where way is not oneway traffic_sign:backward =variable_message where way is not oneway variable_message_model = operator's description from the dataset e.g 4x13 VMS MS5 variable_message_type = matrix variable_message_type = graphic variable_message_type = graphic;matrix variable_message_information = parking variable_message_information = traffic traffic_sign:location = overhead (where the sign is mounted on agntry spanning the highway) traffic_sign:location= roadside ( where the sign is mounted on a pole) Should the node be on the way? Has anyone mapped these consistently anywhere else? Do I have to create a proposal page on the wiki and go through a formal vote? Regards Brian
