This whole discussion started because of people wanting to do weird things to show how a stop sign was applicable to a lane not a way, there is also cases of other restrictions like maxheight and maxspeed effecting a lane but not both lanes. > Or traffic cones, or a painted median.

My only experience in this area is with OSM and someone somewhere obviously decided to do it based on physical, it's certainly less complicated that way, however we just need to tag some lanes in a minority of cases for a particular reason, but most of the time all lanes on the way will be symmetrical and tagging the ways should cascade down to lanes unless something overrides it. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
