Re https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_Tagging_Guidelines
Rob Nickerson mentioned that the access table currently languishing on the talk page which got generated as a side effect of the preset file project should be integrated into the main page. I think we need to go a bit further and give the page a rewrite, since it's outdated and rather unclear and variable in the advice it currently gives. I'm prepared to give it a go; anyone want to help out? Rough plan at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:United_Kingdom_Tagging_Guidelines#Resolving_the_.22Classic_vs._Global_tagging_style.22_mess I think we should drop recommendations of highway=path + access tags completely, because nobody really seems to be using that scheme. Go with the hybrid approach building on existing understated tagging as outlined in the link above, but state that a) designation=* is needed to be meaningful about rights of way, b) access tags can optionally be added and actually do make the map data more globally useful. Who's with me? Any against? I'd *love* to know up front if anyone has any evidence of big areas of "highway=path + access tags" used as a representation of actual signposted RoWs anywhere in England or Wales. -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
