Tagging it highway=service seems wrong. Service roads do not go underwater... The tagging system is supposed to be flexible and updated to reflect changing requirements, after all. I've tagged about five or six boat ramps about the place, and it wasn't until I read these emails that I even considered putting it on just the a single node. I found the wiki page a while back and started applying it to ways, without realising it said otherwise. Ah consistency. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

David Murn wrote: I think slipway is the British term. From the leisure=slipway wiki page: Yes, I'm happy now that they're using the term to apply to both types of boat launching facility. Anyhow, I've changed the tagging to show highway=service to the approximate high water mark, then leisure=slipway for the couple of hundred metres of way from there down to the present water level. And I've tagged the joining node as leisure=slipway as well. If I want to draw attention to the fact that the slipway tag needs to apply to significantly-long ways as well as to nodes, where's the appropriate place to do that?

[talk-au] Question about lanes
I'm currently doing some edits in Armidale (NSW) following my trip there for Christmas. Many of the streets and surrounding roads are labelled lanes=1. Some of these are clearly wrong, as they have a painted line in the middle (lanes=2) - I will be changing these, but I wanted to check what to use if the road (residential or unclassified) doesn't have centre line markings. Should we use lanes=1 only if it's narrow, or in all residential roads without lane markings? (or leave the tag off completely?) What do other people do?

If the road is two-way traffic (you can drive in either direction), I use the lanes tag only if the number of lanes is greater than two. If the road has one-way traffic, I use the lanes tag for each way, but only if the number of lanes in that direction is greater than one.

The coast lines only update infrequently, so even if it looks right now it may have been broken in the past, I've tried to force the tiles to regenerate, but no luck. I think the coastline data on OSM is from the 27th of December. The correct coastline data seems to be in use again. Tiles that still have blue background are updated when resubmitted for rendering. Would be nice to be able to determine what date the rendered coastline comes from. Arie. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

If the road is two-way traffic (you can drive in either direction), I use the lanes tag only if the number of lanes is greater than two. A lane is a lane, there is two way traffic on a road south of Gympie that is only one lane and you have to pull off to the side if there is a car coming in the opposite direction. If the road has one-way traffic, I use the lanes tag for each way, but only if the number of lanes in that direction is greater than one. If a road has multiple lanes (or car widths) and is bidirectional I assume lanes=2, if it's one way I assume lanes=1 and only tag ways with the number of lanes=* if it differs from the assumption. The only exception is motorways where one way is assumed to be 2 lanes. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
