I'm also going to have to use the relation method for a few trams
near me, as the roads are set up so that one side of the road is
tram-only (railway=tram, oneway=yes), but the other side is also
open to road traffic (highway=unclassified, tram=yes, oneway=yes),
sometimes buses and taxis only (highway=unclassified, tram=yes,
oneway=yes, bus=yes, taxi=yes, motorcar=no). This looks a complete
mess in renderers at the moment (see http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.478996&lon=-2.241334&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF)
.
Trams can't go on highway=unclassified as far as I'm aware, unless
there is a separate highway=tram tag or way.
In central London there are many roads that are all traffic one way
and bicycle+bus+maybe taxi in the other direction, I'm thinking of
splitting them into separate ways.
Knowing what I do about train enthusiasts and public transport
enthusiasts I think we are going to end up with every set of tracks
and points in the entire world in OSM! We might start with a single
way through a station and ignore the fact that there are three
platforms and six or more actual sets of tracks, but the coding will
get more and more detailed as more fanatical people get hold of it!
Indeed - I've started to do a few stations near me. One of the
unsolved problems (to my mind), is how to add platforms numbers.
ref=* has been suggested, but most island platforms usually have a
different number for each side of the platform (sometimes even
splitting the sides up as 1a, 1b, etc). See discussion here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/unified_stoparea#Sheffield
For island platforms I use a way for each platform with a ref, and
then a footway at each end to link them, maybe not the best, but kinda
works.
