It has, and it should. Anything added to OSM makes editing more
complicated for mappers to come - *especially* when it's relations that
always have the potential to trip up the newbie mapper.

Something that is completely unnecessary reduces the ease of editing of
our map while adding no value to compensate for that. It makes it harder
for us to achieve what we want - a map editable by anyone.

Bye
Frederik

[talk-au] Audible fences

2021-07-30 Thread Bob Cameron

Info only

barrier=fence
sensory=audible

ie the squeaking screeching fences that supposedly replace cattle grids. 
I asked for input some months ago on how to map.


With the recent ID editor update there is now a warning that a fence has 
to be a line, even though it is placed on the road.


Cheers
