Regarding tagging highway=motorway or highway=trunk my take is the documentation is a bit ambiguous. I've posted the paragraph here. See 'In the less usual case ... along the same carriageway use a single way ...'.
I do not see a barrier using BING nor Mapbox Satellite. However, TIGER 2014 shows as a dual carriageway. Umm ... what to do? Follow TIGER? Or remove the FIXME and do nothing more? >From the wiki: 'A motorway is normally represented by a series two parallel ways, one for each carriageway<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/carriageway> tagged with highway=motorway. These ways should all point direction of travel and be tagged with oneway=yes. In the less usual case of a motorway where traffic travels in both directions along the same carriageway use a single way and tag it with oneway=no.

If there is actually a barrier in the middle that is not visible in Bing, then it should split into two separate one lane ways. Not sure I'd hang a motorway tag on it though as that requires a minimum of two lanes in each direction. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway Tod On Jan 8, 2015, at 10:36 AM, Richard Welty wrote: On 1/8/15 1:03 PM, Zontine, Chris -(p) wrote: While mapping a FIXME in the US this situation came up: WAY ID 8822153. The FIXME implies this WAY (and others) should have a dual carriageway. As you can see this is one long stretch of highway=motorway. What is the thought on this? it looks like it is divided by a barrier but single lane each way. it would be good to verify the presence of the barrier. i think a motorway designation is borderline given the single lane, but a trunk would be about right. given verification of the barrier, dual carriageway would be correct. richard -- [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
