There is also a proposed tag, which is now being used, for highway=busway -
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:highway%3Dbusway But that proposal mentions: "The current tagging scheme for this type of roadway is highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=service <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dservice>, access <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access>=no <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access%3Dno>, bus <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:bus>=designated, sometimes using also service <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:service>=busway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Dbusway>." I would support establishing this tag highway=busway for roadways which are exclusively for the use of buses. -- Joseph Eisenberg On Wed, Dec 9, 2020 at 6:39 AM Michael Tsang <mikl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all, > > I'm working with some roads in Central area in Hong Kong.
