Hi all, sorry for the late reaction, I was offline for two days visiting a friend for his 50th aniversary.

I tried to be very careful to improve quality, I've asked for feedback in those cases where I was not sure what the initial mapper tried to map and AFAIR I got only very few comments telling me that I should better revert them. So, please comment those changesets which you think I should revert. And yes, during the last days I got a bit lazy asking for review, so I'll add more comments again.

I think this should really be discussed in the tagging list. I only know a discussion in Germany which came to the conclusion that tags like unclassified_link, residential_link and service_link make not much sense: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=26083 The wiki doesn't mention those _link types as well, and my understanding is that only major roads have a link (if link in english means what we call "Abfahrt/ Auffahrt" in Germany, I would describe it as a lane that allows to decrease/increase speed.

I agree that a surface tag might be missing, I just recognized this a case of a wrongly mapped ford, so I changed the tag to path and added a ford=stepping_stones to the node which connects the highway with the waterway. greetings, Gerd (GerdP) -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Undiscussed-edits-removing-lesser-used-highway-tags-tp5859298p5859435.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
