I disagree. Public roads generally are a different landuse (i.e. they are roads). Smaller landuse entities also are much easier to refine later. And yet another point: landuse mapped like in this example conveys more information because it indicates the border of the private properties. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
