Again, this is not relations as categories in any way. People suggesting that really didn't think enough about it. It's combining roads that are connected to *each other*, with a special property, and the non-category like feature here is that they form one *entity*: a zone if you wish, or a built-up area. If you think this is using relations as categories, then route relations are that as well. So let's be clear here: I'm *not* proposing to add all roads with maxspeed=50 into one relation (that's a category), nor do I want all roads inside all built-up areas of one country inside one relation (that's a category as well). I want one built-up area represented as one entity: a relation (as that's how traffic legislation handles it: a single entity) (that's not a category), or all roads inside one zone 30 into one relation (that's not a category), or all roads inside a parking zone into one relation (that's not a category) More clear now? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
