That's exactly what was discussed back then. Yes, a mapper who is generally critical of mechanical edits additionally pointed out that such edits might result from a successful vote, but that doesn't change the proposal itself. > We model bridges and tunnels in a specific way in OSM which > means we do not need to add additional layer tags (but feel free if you > do want to). Well, according to the result of the vote, properly mapped bridge/tunnels do need layer tags, and that's what the Key:layer page should document today. I don't see a reason to start the discussion again (especially in this thread), but should you manage to gather broad support for changing the definition, then the Key:layer page may eventually reflect that. > I have always understood that we do not use a layer tag for > road/waterway crossings, as osm help also suggests here: > https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/3049/how-to-correct-waterways-intersecting-roads-without-a-junction-node That's not what is being suggested here. The option b) in the question was to just add layer=-1 to large sections of a waterway without surveying what actually happens in those places. Which is clearly not a good solution. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
