I have seen the "open-top culvert" design on hiking trails, but did not know what it was called. I agree that these should be tagged differently from conventional culverts, as they are so different from what is usually meant by culvert. Otherwise, someone watching for a conventional pipe culvert is likely to walk right past, without realizing that they have reached their landmark.

Probably we can have another tag (if someone requires it, though what I saw would maybe be better described with something like "draining") "open-top_culvert=yes" instead of a simple "culvert" ;-) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- John F.
