Hi Kim, I don't think these are standard emergency markers as per EMV/ETSA. They are normally green with white writing with the three letter id and are one of two specific styles <https://www.mapillary.com/app/user/tastrax?lat=-37.044177777778025&lng=146.04443333333006&z=17&pKey=578355906539998&focus=photo&mapStyle=Mapillary+satellite&x=0.3424026028529852&y=0.6120759619632152&zoom=0.9900049233549993>(this one is just outside Mansfield). Whilst the local fire brigades and Belgrave / Emerald ambulance stations may have local instructions, I don't think these are generally available on all emergency services platforms. These appear to be more internal references for PBR and at eight locations per km approximately, they are significantly more densely packed than any other emergency marker identifier.
It might be worthwhile obtaining the standard waver from PBR which could confirm the status of the markers as well. As they are not standard, perhaps consider adding a few more fields, colour=white, source= and if they are all on the telephone poles, perhaps identify this as well as man_made=utility_pole, utility=telecom. This is a good exercise and I hope you are not deterred. and this is a trestle bridge! https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=-37.743955555556&lng=148.04658333333&z=17&pKey=4226447237419785&focus=photo Ewen On Fri, 26 Nov 2021 at 22:12, Kim Oldfield via Talk-au < [email protected]> wrote: > > > On 26/11/21 9:09 pm, Andrew Davidson wrote: > > On 26/11/21 18:48, Kim Oldfield via Talk-au wrote: > >> Hi, > >> > >> The markers were installed by the railway, and are maintained by the > >> railway.
