Re: [Tagging] tagging of one-way cycle lanes

2018-05-09 Thread Adam Snape
Hi,

I would assume that in-carriageway cycle lanes (not separate cycle tracks)
are one-way by default, just like the general traffic lanes they are part
of. Certainly where I live, I do not feel the need to tag them as one-way.

Kind regards,

Adam

Re: [Tagging] Small gate only for foot access

2018-04-20 Thread Adam Snape
Hi,

Is it a kissing gate
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dkissing_gate if so that
specific tag is more appropriate than a generic gate.

The access tags for foot only would be access=no, foot=yes
In practice almost all gates (that aren't kissing gates) are physically big
enough for bikes etc. as well , so I'd suggest foot=yes motorcar=no. If the
path is only a right of way on foot then this can be implied by the class
of highway eg. highway=footway or explicitly tagged eg. highway=path;
foot=yes, bicycle=no, horse=no, motor_vehicle=no,

Kind  regards,

Adam

+1 to mapping tehm as separate ways.
If traffic can physically cross from one side of the railway to the other
(eg. to do a u-turn) the road shouldn't be mapped as two oneway highways
because it affects routing.

Re: [Tagging] 'Unknown' value.

2018-02-05 Thread Adam Snape
Hi,

Is 'unknown' really such an unusual and undesirable as an access tag? I
thought it was long-established, if not especially common. If the issue is
a lack of Wiki documentation that is easily solved.

I think that highway=footway foot=unknown adds a useful level of nuance.
For example a routing engine could choose to avoid such routes where it
would route over a footway by default. Of couse we could produce this
result by tagging foot=no, but if we don't know that pedestrians actually
aren't allowed that would be incorrectly tagging for the router.
foot=unknown could be considered an implicit fixme in the same way as
highway=road is, but also have teh benefit of being useable directly by
data consumers (if they chose to use it) unlike the free-form text
contained in notes and fixmes.

More generally, wherever an absence of a particular tag is taken to imply
something is or isn't present then a tag of something=unknown does have a
valid and worthwhile meaning distinct from no tag at all. .

Re: [Tagging] Questions on building-tag

2017-12-19 Thread Adam Snape
Hi,

My own view of the building tag is that it notes what the building looks
like to someone on the ground. If it's a fairly generic building then
obviously the current use is a fairly good indicator. Something like a
church or pub though often still retains the characteristics of that type
of building even when internally converted. As long as it still externally
looks like a church or pub that is what I tag the building as.

Re: [Tagging] New tag for major recipient postcodes

Hi,

The British terminology for this is a 'non-geographic postcode'. I suggest
that this terminology might make a more appropriate general tag because
a) The purpose of the tag to indicate the non-geographic nature of the
postcode, not the volume of post the address recieves
and
b) Special postcodes may be allocated for reasons other than sheer volume
of mail.

Re: [Tagging] Deprecating of leisure=common and leisure=village_green

2017-12-02 Thread Adam Snape
The use of these tags within the UK seems to be relatively unproblematic
because they are UK terms that people in the UK understand and recognise as
distinct from things like parks, gardens and recreation grounds. These tags
have taken on new meanings in other countries which some view as
problematic. I have no opinion on how other mapping communities use these
particular tags, but the notion of discouraging the explicit tagging of
these features even within the UK seems bizarre. Yes, OSM is a global
database, but that is not to say that country-specific feaures ought not to
be explicitly tagged. OSm is - I think - a great means of recording such
diversity. I don't particularly see a problem with tags being used to mean
subtly different things in different countries as long as there is
consistency within countries. I don't expect features tagged
leisure=nature_reserve or highway=secondary in the UK to be very similar to
similarly tagged features in Botswana.

Re: [Tagging] oneway:bicycle

2017-08-27 Thread Adam Snape
An unknown value cannot be meaningfully used by routers etc. You could add
a fixme tag so that a local mapper can clarify the signs on the ground. If
there is no mention of cycles on signage then it should be assumed that the
one-way restriction applies equally to cycles (unless the country's laws
exclude cycles from one way restrictions).

 I was just using Edinburgh as an example most English speakers are
familiar with. Whilst I would expect software to be familiar with major
cities like Edinburgh it is much more unlikely to be able to deal with the
pronunciation of all the smaller named objects in OSM. A means of tagging
pronunciation, where this is not obvious from the spelling would be a

As long as it was clear from the tag (as it is in your example) that it was
a spoken rather than written form of the name then I wouldn't have  a
problem with it. To be most useful such a tag should not just exist for TTS
software, it could also be of use where the pronunciation is not clear from
the spelling eg. Edinburgh. There are a small number of instances of such
tagging already in use

Re: [Tagging] Beautified JSON presets for natural=tree

2017-07-22 Thread Adam Snape
Hi

I wasn't arguing in favour of the change, merely addressing John Willis'
concern. I suppose the intention might be to reduce the likelihood of
erroneous descriptive name tags such as name=tree. New mappers sometimes
often fail to realise that name boxes in the editors often should be left
blank. I suspect that JOSM users are much less likely to make this mistake.
Then again, I suspect they are also much less likely to be deterred from
leaving a name because there is no preset name box.

I agree with Wiktor that we shoud use the access tag bicycle=no when
cycling' is prohibited.
I agree with Volker that the logical meaning of cycleway=no is that there
are no cycle tracks or lanes along a section of highway. This might be
useful information in a similar way to sidewalk=no, not useless like
building=no  landuse=no.
