I thought it might be useful to have a concrete (literally) example of USA tagging to talk about. So.. think I have tagged the highways from San Francisco down to San Jose as described on the highway tagging page, with a few exceptions. My reference was the international section of the highway tag article: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Highway_tag_usage#International_equi valence
The exceptions are as follows: 1) I upgraded the Golden Gate Bridge from primary to trunk, but I think it should be motorway because it has ramp-only access. 2) I upgraded most of the 'braided' highways in the San Francisco area and other main arteries further south to primary. Some of the ones I coded as primary in the San Francisco area have now been retagged as tertiary. I have sent am email to the author of these changes to see if the motivation is to get the roads to render yellow or if I have missed something. 3) IThere are many roads that are currently still tagged as residential which should probably be tertiary, secondary or primary and there are of course many areas of grey between primary, secondary and tertiary, however I think it would be good to get some feedback and discussion first. Could people take a look and see if I have got it about right and suggest or execute changes where required. Also. please could someone to a 'trial render' of the area using one or more potential 'USA friendly' colour schemes so we can see what it would look like. Personally I would be interested in something along these lines: Orange and wide: Motoroway/trunk Yellow and wide: Primary Yellow at narrow: secondary Fainted yellow and narrow: tertiary Could this be done off-line and then posted as an image on the wiki for discussion? Could anyone have a go at this? Btw, I have been copying some emails from talk onto talk-us over the past few days but they haven't made it onto the list, not sure why. Possibly it was because I was not a member of the list (which I now am). Regards, Peter Peter Ito
