Jono It was me. Yes, it really was surveyed, on foot, up to the point where there road will enter a tunnel (which hasn't been built yet).
The road in question will be a trunk road when its done, and it would be nice for renderers to be able to show such roads in the appropriate colour but with a dashed marking or something to mark it's status. The under-construction tag is not very satisfactory and highlights a more general problem. How to make tags more extensible? We know two things about this road, firstly that it will be a trunk road, and secondly it is currently under construction. Since renderers should not be expected to know about about tags that have not yet been invented, the under_constuction tag is not a good solution. I tagged it this way and left it like that, intending to come back to it when I had some better ideas about how to do it right. My current thoughts are that we need a tag like highway=construction which can then be qualified with the ultimate class of the road if it is known, producing highway=construction:trunk. This would not get misinterpreted by renderers or other clients but still provide all the information required. Any other ideas or suggestions? 80n On 8/28/07, Jonathan Bennett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Does someone want to own up to mapping the northern Hindhead Tunnel > approach?
