There is a bridge nearby which changed from a regular road, to a oneway road plus footpath, to a oneway road and footpath with cycles permitted, to a footpath and very wide cycle lane where the road used to be, and is now a 2-way road again. All within the space of a year.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/8094007/history All of that is in the OSM way's history (with a delay between the road changing and someone from OSM noticing it) but you wouldn't know just by looking whether that was a real change in road status or just an edit war ;) On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 7:40 PM, Frederik Ramm <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Jonathan Bennett wrote: >> Is the idea of a separate, railways-only dataset too far fetched? > > I'd rather have a separate "historic objects" dataset or so, as there > are many other historic places people would like to map but which would > pollute the main map.
