Either you have to do this, or software (in this case for routing) needs to know about all the quirks of different jurisdictions, which is a point I tried to make in the Australian-residential-tagging thread. In practice you probably wouldn't do it in the routing software itself, but when transforming the data from OSM format to whatever the router uses. Having tags whose implications change from region to region is asking to confuse people. Back when I lived in the ACT (Australia), I wouldn't expect to be required to tag things differently if I'm a few kilometres away from home, across the border in NSW. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
