The big problem is that you can't tell what the name=* refers to, and what if the road and bridge name are both important? The unambiguous way to do it is to use a bridge relation - you put the name/ref on the relation, have the road, cycleway, footway on the bridge be a member with a 'across' roles, and the river or other road be a member with the 'under' role. Which also lets you say that the road and cycleway are part of the same bridge, not two separate ones. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Bridges_and_Tunnels ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I still think it should be just name=*, after all what's the point of the road name being rendered when you expect the bridge name to be? If you want to do name/ref for the way this is when you need to think about route relations, in which case you only need the bridge to be tagged with ref=* ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

But if you propose bridge:ref=* then you should probably also use bridge:name=* rather than the already proposed bridge_name=*. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

[talk-au] Bridges in the ACT
"Are you asking about a custom mapnik style sheet?" Yes "Why are you using bridge_number=* instead of ref=* or bridge:ref=* ?" My understanding is that ref or bridge:ref would be the ref of the road over the bridge. These are numbers relating specifically to the bridge structure itself and therefore bridge_number would be of a similar nature to the proposed tag bridge_name. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Are you asking about a custom mapnik style sheet?

[talk-au] Bridges in the ACT
What would be the best way to get a publically accessable web map of the ACT showing the OSM data but with the bridges highlighted? Also bridges that have not had their bridge_number tagged could be highlighted in red and those whose number has been tagged could be highlighted in green. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
