[Talk-ca] Ferry key on ways
Hi all, We are looking into adding the ferry key to ferry ways and we would like to have your input first. Looking at the wiki [1] it seems that this key is only in proposed stage. As a preliminary check from the 107 ferry elements (route=ferry) in Canada only 10 of them have ferry=* tag How would you approach this topic? Do you think that it's OK to add them in OSM? Thanks in advance, Ionut Rus [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ferry ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
Re: [Talk-ca] Ferry key on ways
My question would be how the different levels of ferry are defined. What makes a ferry a "trunk ferry" versus a "primary ferry"? Its speed? Capacity? Not allowing pedestrians and bikes? My suspicion is that the classification in the end comes down to which types of roads the ferry connects, which IMHO doesn't tell you all that much useful about the ferry itself. That said, I don't see much harm from classifying ferries according to their connecting roads. Harald.

Re: [Talk-ca] Ferry key on ways
Ionut, I've been adding duration to ferry ways in Washington State. None of the ways have a ferry key which seems rather redundant since the connecting ways are tagged with the highway type. But there are different types of ferries in operation. From the fancy BC Ferries to the small platforms that cross rivers. It might better to capture the type of boat being used with the capacity and amenities like food and beverage.

There is a new layer with this data now in the OSMI: http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=areas&lon=-64.28033&lat=53.72207&zoom=8&overlays=same_tags_on_outer_ring You have to zoom in to at least zoom level 8 to see something.

That's very helpful. Looks like CanvecImports cleaned up many of the thousands of giant forestry and lake relations that were a problem the other week. Welcome back!
