Re: [Talk-GB] Tagging one way at certain times of day
As you say, it's bidirectional, so I don't think the oneway tag is appropriate. It's hierarchically superior to any conditional tags. A direction tag is required. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conditional_restrictions#Direction Unable to locate it, but I believe there was a recent discussion on Tagging about conditional oneways.

Hi stuart I think you'd need to add fowards and backwards to your tags and further separate them by vehicle type Regards Brian On Thu, 17 Jan 2019 at 14:03, Stuart Reynolds < stu...@travelinesoutheast.org.uk> wrote: > Hi All, > > My attention has been drawn (by a local authority colleague) to a street > in Tunbridge Wells, Grosvenor Road ( > https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/35929327).

Re: [Talk-GB] Tagging one way at certain times of day
Hi, I think you're right in your reading of those tags - they don;t indicate what you'd like. Assuming the restrictions aply to all traffic (other than psv) then a general oneway:conditional=yes @ (09:00-18:00) would seem the most simple. Your oneway:psv=no overides that restriction. Personally though I have a preference for setting the tagging so that routers don't default to sending people down restrcited streets at all times because they don't recognise the tagging, so I would have it as oneway=yes and oneway:conditional=no @ (18:00-09:00). Again the specific psv tagging should override the restrictions. Please remember to add oneway:bicycle=no tags if there's also a cycle exemption Kind regards, Adam On Thu, 17 Jan 2019 at 14:03, Stuart Reynolds < stu...@travelinesoutheast.org.uk> wrote: > Hi All, > > My attention has been drawn (by a local authority colleague) to a street > in Tunbridge Wells, Grosvenor Road ( > https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/35929327).

[Talk-GB] Tagging one way at certain times of day
Hi All, My attention has been drawn (by a local authority colleague) to a street in Tunbridge Wells, Grosvenor Road (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/35929327). This is a bi-directional road that has timed restrictions heading north between 9am and 8pm, with buses allowed to head north up it at all times. Traffic can head south at all times. The tagging on it is currently: abutters=retail, highway=tertiary maxspeed=20 mph motor_vehicle:conditional=no @ (09:00-18:00) name=Grosvenor Road oneway=yes psv=yes source=sign to which I have just added oneway:psv=no because “psv=yes” doesn’t override the oneway tag, only the access tag. But the question is, is this correct tagging for the road? I don’t think that it is, because I take the combination of access, oneway, and conditional to mean that this is a oneway street, always, but that motor vehicles are prevented from using it IN EITHER DIRECTION between the hours of 9am and 6pm. Assuming that I’m right, how SHOULD this be tagged, to achieve the desired aim? Or am I wrong?

Re: [Talk-GB] I have a philosophical question...
I like your reply Gareth! >From my point of view it's wrong trying to compare OSM to Google Maps or other centralized mapping projects because we, OSM Contributors, a huge variety of people, have different interests. I use to compare the way we contribute in OSM as the way free software developers do to improve some programs and, following this idea, I recommend to have a view to the E.S Raymond's essay: "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" [1] . We are the bazaar in the mapping realm!
