A follow-up to my earlier, narrower query (subject line now changed) Can Overpass measure the length of roads?
Eg, if a parish council wants to know how many miles of roads it has to sweep. (Assume filtering by road type is possible to exclude driveways, etc; assume all roads their responsibility.) What about area of grass to cut? (add together all parks, football pitches, etc - assume tagged *operator=Footon Parish Council*).
