[talk-au] Coral Sea Islands

2009-08-04 Thread Ross Scanlon
Having seen that many are annoyed with this location showing up (I agree) and 
having read the wikipedia article on it.

I've changed the place=country to place=state as it is a territory governed by 
Australia this more accurately describes the status.

This should also mean it will not show up as much.

Actually it was showing up more when I was tweaking font/fontsize settings for 
states.

I'm not sure that changing it from a country to a state will have much 
difference to be honest, but this is a rendering tweak issue, not a data issue.

[talk-au] Pacific and New England Highway interchange area

2009-08-04 Thread John Smith

Someone has marked in a lot of roads, I assume from sat imagery, however they 
marked them all as highway=service.

Also someone only half did the New England highway, I'm fixing it up still, 
again probably from low res sat imagery, even though they list the source as 
survey it doesn't look it.

Also most of the Pacific highway was marked as ref=NR1 or ref="National 1" 
instead of NH1, although that's now fixed, but the seeing the different highway 
shields brings up ref=* errors.

Liz, he has a point and it's very clear the Germans aren't going to let this 
go, the only solution regardless of who is right, wrong or indiff or who got 
there first is to replace highway=unclassified to something else.

Then make this explicit in the main wiki pages what it exactly means.

highway=rural seems a logical choice. Perhaps just work out a semi-rigid 
definition, such as:

Any road which is:

a) Primarily boarded by land used for primary production and
b)
Exists primarily to provide transport to service the properties
adjacent to it. Ie: the majority of drivers on the road are traveling
to or from a property rather than between rural centers.

Thoughts?

You haven't traveled much in western areas have you? :)

Parts of National Highway 1 are a 4wd dirt track.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_1_(Australia)

However there are numerous, mostly all weather gravel roads in western NSW 
alone, although too much rain makes them unusable, but the primary purpose in 
some cases is to go between towns but the funding was never forth coming to 
seal them.

Another good example is the Fitzroy Development Road in Northern QLD

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=-32.7508,151.5851&sll=-25.335448,135.745076&sspn=56.828725,114.169922&ie=UTF8&ll=-23.52307,149.431229&spn=0.465892,1.153564&z=11

It would essentially replace the meanings on this page for unclassified and 
unclassified would then be used as the Germans and others in Europe have been 
using it as a wide-ish industrial road in a urban area.

This gets close but you could apply that to parts of most major highways west 
of the great dividing range as well.

The primary production is probably a problem too as I'd expect to use this on 
the roads arround here which might have primary production on one side and 
national park on the other. Or go from an area surrounded by primary production 
into an area that is either totally state forest or national park.

An added or alternate para:

"This road would be tagged residential or unclassified if it was in a 
metropolitan or urban centre"

When rendered should be the same as unclassified and residential.

I don't like that.

1) are you really suggesting using highway=rural for "Other streets.
Not generally through routes."?

2) and are you really suggesting that highway=unclassified be defined
as "a wide-ish industrial road in an urban area"? Width should be
specified with width=*. An "urban area" is too vague. "Industrial
road" is also too vague.

I wouldn't reference another highway class, but instead I'd more or less copy 
the current unclassified description:

"No administrative classification. Rural roads typically form the lowest form 
of the interconnecting grid network in non-Urban areas."

No, perhaps that was a bad example as I wasn't explicit.

I would do this:

"No administrative classification. Rural roads typically form the lowest form 
of the non-Urban interconnecting grid network."

Anything non-connecting would be almost a service road?

People are reading the meaning of unclassified as a rung higher than 
residential, and treating residential as access=destination. Which might be 
fine in Europe but residential roads are used as interconnecting roads in a lot 
of Australia. Councils and the like just don't plan major through fares very 
well they just tend to upgrade them if people use them a lot, or that's what it 
seems to me.

So I'm suggesting to make highway=unclassified as:

"No administrative classification. Unclassified roads typically form the form 
of the interconnecting grid network of residential and other Urban road ways."

That definition confuses me. "Unclassified roads form...the...network
of residential...ways". That doesn't make sense. Is "the network of
residential and other urban road ways" highway=residential or
highway=unclassified?

Do you mean the following?:

1) highway=residential is used for roads that are in any "urban" or
"non-urban" areas accessing or around residential areas" AND are not
"important" enough to be highway=unclassified

2) highway=unclassified is used for roads that are in any "urban" area
(including residential) that are more "important" than
highway=residential AND are not "important" enough to be
highway=tertiary

Never been further West than Parkes, I'm afraid.

I guess this comes down to tagging what exists vs tagging intended use. For 
instance there are parts of the Pacific Highway which are 2 lanes but are 
tagged as trunk because they're the Pacific Highway and are therefore the most 
major road in the area.

The situation you're describing of a major thoroughfare which is just a gravel 
road should probably be tagged as unsealed primary while roads of similar 
"construction" which exist so that farmers can get home could come under 
"rural", even if both of them are nothing more than tracks in a coastal 
dweller's world view. (cripes that's a long sentence, sorry about that :p).

Well said. I think it should be our primary focus to tag what exists
(with surface=, width=, lanes=, etc) and ALSO tag intended use. They
can co-exist peacefully, as long as we are conscious of which tags are
designed to serve which purpose (which apparently doesn't seem to be
the case at the moment, for highway=*).

The track is the bit that connects the unsealed road to their farm. In most 
cases, these roads would be considered tertiary at best, however there may be a 
tertiary road that is unsealed with connecting rural roads.

http://maps.bigtincan.com/?zoom=13&lat=-29.41871&lon=151.00979&layers=B0

The tertiary road is unsealed but is a fairly "busy" road compared to others 
that interconnect that are also unsealed, by going that way you can save 50km 
compared to taking the sealed route.

There is still a lot of sealed roads in rural areas, the unsealed ones are 
short cuts even if there is a sealed route you can take.

Most of these roads aren't the most pleasant route to take if you don't like 
bull dust and corrugates and other sorts of uneven surfaces, I wouldn't 
consider them to be tracks or residential either for that matter.

I just realised in typing the last couple of emails that depending where you 
are from it depends how you interpret the current meaning of 
highway=unclassified. Hopefully by adding a couple of words in the right spot 
it will clarify things much better.

Someone can probably clean up my intent a little, basically what I was trying 
to achieve was to say unclassified roads interconnect with residential and 
other roads and are likely to have slightly higher volumes of traffic than 
residential, most europeans seem to think residential implies 
access=destination so they used unclassified to indicate this.

As far as I'm concerned highway=residential only applies to urban (town/city) 
areas, it doesn't apply to rural/non-urban areas.

bingo

primary -> secondary -> tertiary -> unclassified -> residential

Which is how the Germans have been using it, and the software they write is

I thought the entire length of the pacific highway was NH1, but it seems the 
federal government doesn't cough up for funding so it's NR1 for large sections 
if not all of it (according to wikipedia).

Does anyone know how accurate this is?

Also there is conflicting information between wikipedia and ozroads site,

"Unclassified roads are likely to have slightly higher volumes of
traffic than residential".

Ok. Nice and clear.

Ok. Clear enough. In other words, unclassified = "quartary" and below.
If this goes ahead I look forward to the wiki pages being cleaned up
accordingly... :)

I'd update it now but that's bound to upset someone somewhere. I guess put a 
proposal in for highway=rural and have the proposal update the 
highway=unclassified deff.

While I don't feel it would be wise to alter the current wiki pages I made a 
proposal to try and sort it out indirectly.

Re: [talk-au] Another Brisbane OpenStreetMap Friday meetup in two weeks

2009-08-04 Thread David Dean
Brisbane mappers (and other interested parties),

I have arranged another OpenStreetMap meetup for Friday 21 August at
Southbank after work. Come and meet OpenStreetMappers and maybe do a
little micro-mapping of Southbank if you're up to it. The venue is
currently TBA, but will probably be a restaurant around Southbank
somewhere.

Details here: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Brisbane/Mapping_Parties/2009-08

Please pass this message onto anyone you think might be interested.

See you then,

- David

[talk-au] 4wd_only

2009-08-04 Thread John Smith

While it's not my proposal I updated it to match the current aussie guidelines. 
Please vote for it if you are in favour of this tag so we can get 4WD Only 
tacked on the end of road ways.
