Hi,
Some thoughts on Australian Tagging Guidelines - OpenStreetMap Wiki.htm
First it is very good - covers most common issues. In fact I'd call it
excellent.
But .. there could be some additions?
How do you tag a 'Gully'? .. I've used waterway=stream intermittent=yes,
googled from an American post. Looks to work (I've used it on Gallipoli).
+1
Changes?
The default number of lanes.
Currently 2 except for oneway, there it is 1.
Change to
Default number is 2 except for
Motorways = 4?
Would have thought 2 would be more likely, given that they tend to be
two on each carriageway except in urban areas and where additional lanes
may be required.
Mind you it's a while since I drove on one as I tend to avoid them where
possible, rather take the scenic route.
4WD difficult ratings .. well the Mountain Bikers have a system .. use
that? While the difficulty levels change with the vehicle - deep sand
springs to mind .. 4WDs float over it ... motorcycles have to speed over
it, with mountain bikes sinking into it, but it might be a starting point?
Look at a new key for this rather than modifying the 4wd_only key.
Don't reinvent the wheel either there is a classification system for this:
http://www.4wdqld.com.au/track-classification.html
http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/iconic-four-wheel-drives/track-classification
so something like:
4wd:scale=easy/medium/difficult/very-difficult
when rendered next to the 4wd_only key use the appropriate icon from the
above.
Surfaces - we have paved/unpaved sand/dirt/wood etc .. but not
corrugated(washboard American)[probably most significant], rocky nor
ripio (South American). Mud? though that may be seasonal. :)
corrugated is intermittent, depends on when the road/track was last
graded and probably should be part of smoothness. The surface is still
gravel/dirt/ground,etc.
surface=mud is already in the wiki
surface=rock is probably better than rocky
Cheers
Ross
