Absolutely - this is exactly the sort of situation that the proposal would resolve and there are many others. Mike Harris

I think separating legal status from the highway tag is a good thing in general. Currently with bridleways tagged as highway=bridleway you have no idea what kind of actual way you are dealing with. Where I live (Devon) there are a lot of bridleways, some on wide tracks and some on singletrack paths. I also know of one bridleway near me that runs up the driveway of a country house. It would be nice to be able to differentiate that with: highway=footway designation=bridleway highway=track designation=bridleway highway=service designation=bridleway Rather than the current situation where either the type of way or the legal status is lost.

As such, this really sounds like a step in the wrong direction. Perhaps expanding the service= tags and getting the mapnik and osmarender we use on the slippymap to render these things instead of route tags on the underlying ways when the underlying way is a member of a route=road relation. The cyclemap is getting this right; but strangely, none of the other renderers. And it's not like it would be that hard to get that fixed; someone's already rendering road relations complete with correct highway badges already. http://weait.com/maps/?zoom=11 <http://weait.com/maps/?zoom=11&lat=43.14469&lon=-79.17383&layers=0B0> &lat=43.14469&lon=-79.17383&layers=0B0 _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
