My apologies for messaging backward regarding the CO Floods and road tagging. I think I have gone back through the conversation and captured it here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_Colorado_Floods - I also added my two cents of using damaged: or destroyed: key
As with wiki's please feel free to edit, I will have limited availability this week but will try to contribute some mapping time (and look over the wiki and talk list). =Russ -----Original Message----- From: stevea [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 16, 2013 11:03 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Evin Fairchild Subject: Re: [Talk-us] Tagging Closed Roads I suggest tags highway=proposed and/or highway=construction tags can be used, depending on what you know and/or see (in that order). If a section of washed-out road is an "island" that cannot be gotten to, it might properly be tagged access=no. Ditto for roads that are still physically extant, but have been essentially "condemned" by, say a municipality, county road department or state DOT. In other words, OSM can excel here at exceedingly accurately describing the state of the road network, right down to any granularity or level of detail, whether still there and open, still there but closed, gone but going to be rebuilt, or actually being rebuilt. There are other combinations, I'm sure: tag appropriately!
