Finally decided to map red routes after avoiding it for over a year (red routes are sprouting up rapidly in South Birmingham despite fierce oppostion from local traders - they're "no stopping" routes which are rigidly enforced). There's not much to guide me as a mapper following a quick search in the usual places - so can the community offer some thoughts so we can get a consensus and a common approach for those few of us who have to contend with them? The following initial offering is from our local tagging guru Andy Robinson (who else?)
If it's a red route I'd suggest red_route=yes on it since the regulations applicable to a red route don't fit easily into any one category. However since there aren't many places with Red Routes yet (only London [1] and West Mids [2] in the UK?) we could have a stab with the London folks on how they should be mapped better than this. Bus lanes could very much fall into the thoughts as well as Urban Clearways. These are all some sort of "restriction" so maybe that tagging approach should be considered. For times, the start / end type tags should be good enough, though it gets more complicated if you have to also add a tag that stats which days it applies to and when there is more than one time period of operation in a given day. For example the Stratford Road Red Route operates M-S 7am-7pm [1] http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/finesandregulations/949.aspx [2] http://www.westmidlandsltp.gov.uk/redroutes.php?id=2493 Bus Lanes are yet another headache!
