I noticed that too Rob. Day before yesterday they all seemed to start at the 
same time so I assumed it was uni students.

 

Cheers

Hi,

Is anyone aware of any recent OSM press - we've seen a lot of new OSM mappers 
in the Midlands in the last 2 days :-)

Also is Potlatch 2 still the default for new mappers as they all seem to be 
using that? I though we'd switched to iD as the default across all browsers now 
(although I don't remember where I read that!).

[Talk-GB] London bus lanes

[Richard Fairhurst]

Hi all,

I was slightly surprised to find that bus lane tagging in London is very 
patchy!


Bus lanes are easy to spot, even from imagery:

1. They are on roads with bus routes (see Andy's Transport map)
2. They have thick white lines separating them from the general lanes
3. They are often painted red/brown
4. They often have big bus-shaped objects in them

The simplest way of tagging them is just busway=lane . (But you can add 
lanes:bus:forward=1 and stuff like that if you really want to. Lots more 
at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bus_lanes .)


I'll add a few over the next couple of days - it would be smashing if 
others wanted to join in.


cheers
Richard

I like the idea. I think that some central location where people can
chat will help a lot. It will help create a sense of a group activity.
I would recommend IRC but I know some feel that it is too geeky and
not newbie-friendly enough so alternatives are welcome!

Cheers,
Matt
