Re: [OSM-talk] Out of Service Roads
Maybe not construction, but proposed. Highway=proposed means that a road is planned there. Janko ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Re: [OSM-talk] Out of Service Roads
Ah, +1 for just removing the highway tag & adding a note on weather damage. There's been similar discussion regarding demolished/collapsed buildings that still show in imagery. I've used was:building=collapsed/demolished IIRC on some of such cases -- after having had the experience of some people adding from imagery once removed buildings. I'd also add that I think it's a very good idea to make sure that you make sure that _some_ detour is mapped if you completely take out a piece of major road to avoid breaking routing.

Re: [OSM-talk] Out of Service Roads
Right, but if the road has lanes open for travel, then it's highway=*, construction=minor, *not* highway=construction. On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 10:22 PM, John F.
