[Tagging] Tracks for moveable large objects
Hi, Some radio telescopes are located on what could be called rail lines. though these lines have to carry more localised weight and have a much larger track width. For a photo see http://www.atnf.csiro.au/resources/imagebank/images/ATCA_in_a_line.jpg Ideas for suitable tags for these 'rail lines'? My first idea... man_made=rail_line, width=* for the track width, length=* for the track length??? At the moment I have tagged railway=rail and a note=not for trains. See Way: 647916738 - This same problem occurs for other large objects on rails..e.g. large cranes (thinking of one 250 ton crane on a dockside), possibly rocket launches. So it is not just for radio telescopes. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Isn't the only difference that the vehicles that > run on them look different? it depends on the point of view and eventually jurisdiction, for example in Germany the traffic regulations for trams are different to those of trains. From the point of view of a cyclist there isn’t so much difference ;-) Cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

For instance, the Reserve Bank of Australia is wholly owned by the Commonwealth of Australia, but it isn't classified as a Government Department. It's been tagged as a building=government https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/299845167#map=19/-33.86818/151.21169 > How would you tag the land use of an independent central bank? > Certainly not commercial. > I "think" that yes, it probably should / would be? What are the options? It's certainly not either retail or industrial. Government - not if it's independent, which really only leaves commercial? It also wouldn't be tagged as a bank, because it doesn't have accounts & you can't go in & deposit / withdraw cash, or take out a loan. So =government if it's government owned; =commercial if it's private; not tagged as a bank, but named Reserve / Central Bank of Somewhere.

Is there really a difference between embedded railway rails and embedded tram rails? Isn't the only difference that the vehicles that run on them look different? Near where i live there's a narrow-gauge rack railway that runs on embedded rails in the town. [1] These embedded rails look identical to tram rails. Besides, the traffic signs are the same as for trams. [2] I would have mapped such embedded rails railway=tram (but tag the route route=railway). Therefore i also don't see the need for distinguishing embedded_rails=tram/train/narrow_gauge/... (unless i'm wrong and there is a technical difference).

You're right, most central banks are independent from politics, but aren't they called governmental institutions nevertheless? Or rather state institutions? (I'm not so fluent in English and not an expert on state/economy.) How would you tag the land use of an independent central bank? Certainly not commercial.

Not at all unusual related to streets in urban areas, perhaps less so for arterials, although the Seattle Streetcar certainly is on some of the most heavily trafficked streets: Seattle Streetcar: https://www.google.com/maps/@47.6261598,-122.3340738,3a,75y,25.69h,89.73t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sD9tuOXn1XAptqbAhpAxIGQ!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DD9tuOXn1XAptqbAhpAxIGQ%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D65.5826%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192 Spur line into Boeing's 737 plant, lately at least about 5 trains a day carrying 737 fuselage sections from Wichita: https://www.google.com/maps/@47.4784892,-122.2069092,3a,75y,83.26h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sJAY-l6m18kq0s2Yvf0kcwQ!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo2.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DJAY-l6m18kq0s2Yvf0kcwQ%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D80.08282%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192 Also not unusual in intensive industrial park areas.
