I meant there's two ways of conceptualising the distance below a bridge (as an "attribute" or a "restriction"). I'm not suggesting we need 2 different tags. I'm quite happy to tag it as a "restriction", if we can agree on how it should be implemented. > have a node on the way effected, near or under the bridge, rather than > splitting the way and then tagging that node as maxheight or clearence might > be the better option that making a new section of way.

I would at least suggest that - if maxheight is applied to a node, as you suggest - the node should be *shared* by the bridge (way) and the way passing under. This makes it clearer that maxheight is specifically referring to the bridge clearance. Also, if someone is checking, for example, whether maxheight is specified for a particular bridge/way, they don't have to go searching for some random node "near" the bridge. By the way, you can't place a node "under the bridge", unless it is indeed shared by the bridge, as all ways have zero width (right?). _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
