As I documented at http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Highway-Shield-Rendering-tt5612357.html#a5640994 , I think there's definitely a consensus around putting the banner in the network. > I don't recall anybody proposing doing both (which seems redundant on > multiple levels). I don't recall a specific discussion about whether to use the modifier tag with the banner already in the network tag, but the wiki (at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_States_roads_tagging#Tagging_with_relations ) implies that the modifier tag should duplicate the banner present elsewhere, and I've seen the practice in OSM data (from at least NE2, but I'm reasonably sure I've seen other people tagging in this way, too). Separately from the practice that I've seen, I think that having the modifer separate as well as in the network tag allows data consumers to easily work back to the "root" network while still preserving the uniqueness constraints for consumers that only process the network and ref tags. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
