[Talk-us] named links

[Oana Corobeanu - (p)]

Hello all,
I want to open a discussion with you about how a *_link should look like. I've 
encountered in Oklahoma a lot of named links, and from what I know links should 
not have name (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_link). I've 
discussed with Paul Johnson, 
the user that set those links as*_link and he encouraged that these cases are 
correct as they are, I do not want to overstep and make the changes altogether, 
so I've decided to come to you, as community, for another opinion.

  1.  Do you think that ramps should have name or are there any special cases 
where the OSM wiki rule is not applied? Here are some way IDs of the sort:
osm_id=521950172
osm_id=542201866
osm_id=530900252


  1.  Also, I have another question and here are some way IDs as examples:
osm_id=140637592
osm_id=14917755
osm_id=14928196
Do you think these should remain as they are ex. Highway=primary_link and 
name=Northwest 19th Street ?
Or
Change the functional into highway=residential and name=Northwest 19th Street ?

Have a nice day,
Thank you for your help

[Talk-ca] non-existing links that should be deleted?

[Oana Corobeanu - (p)]

Hello all,
I wanted to ask your opinion on a topic related to links. According to OSM Wiki 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_link in case of a turning lane for 
changing direction from a highway to another road, we should map it as a link 
just when it is physically delimited by something. Here is an example of what I 
am talking about 45.3756361, -73.3680429 (all along this highway, Boulevard 
Saint-Luc, you can find some more examples as such). Talking to a member of the 
community, PierZen, he pinpointed that the maxspeed on this primary highway is 
90km/h and that it is important to signalize the possibility of making a turn 
and therefore to decrease the speed. However, there is already the widely used 
[1] turn:lanes tag that can be used to achieve the same. We would prefer to use 
that.
So, the question isdo you think we should map the turning lanes as links or 
not?

Have a great day,
