[Talk-br] Streets in the village of Ibirajá
Hello, I am just working on the village Ibirajá, Bahia: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/304393765 There was a street name present: „Vicinal intermunicipal“. As far as I can see, it was last edited here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/19467218 But, when I enable the layer „IBGE Mapa de Setores Urbanos“, there is another name. It reads AVENIDA OSCAR CARDOSO in the IBGE layer. Should I leave the old name or should I change it? Also, I ask for comments, whether my decisions for street types in this village are allright. I looked for the street's width and chose living_street when the street is as narrow as 6 metres, but chose residential when it is wider than six metres. Anyway, this is hard to decide, since Bing's aerial imagery does not show exact metres. regards Andreas signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Talk-br mailing list Talk-br@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-br

In this particular case, it seems the name on IBGE layer is the official one. But since the IBGE layer is usually of low quality, it's probably better not to replace the data already on the map. Personally I think using highway=living_street using such a rule is a bit controversial, so it's probably better just to use highway=residential. If you want to, you can also add est_width=* [1] to these streets. In some places, the IBGE map might show some streets highlighted with the yellow color or similar. This may be indicative of an important street (highway=primary or highway=secondary).

There was a street name present: „Vicinal intermunicipal“. As far as I can see, it was last edited here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/19467218 This is a description of the type of highway connecting two cities, vicinal is tipically used for a secondary or tertiary unpaved highway. So, it is not really a name and you may move it to a description tag. But, when I enable the layer „IBGE Mapa de Setores Urbanos“, there is another name. It reads AVENIDA OSCAR CARDOSO in the IBGE layer. This seems to be the name of the Vicinal highway in this part of the town, I would not attribute it for the whole highway, but only for the part that falls into that particular city. Summarizing my suggestion: description=Vicinal intermunicipal name=Avenida Oscar Cardoso but I only would place the name in the urban section, not the whole road, since Avenida means Avenue. By the way, whenever possible please remember to add the surface tag. I usually add surface=paved if the road seems to have some layer, and surface=ground otherwise. cheers Gerald ___ Talk-br mailing list Talk-br@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-br

Thanks to both of you. I'll continue tomorrow - it's midnight local time here. Andreas Am 21.09.2014 um 23:45 schrieb Gerald Weber: There was a street name present: „Vicinal intermunicipal“.
