Re: [Talk-GB] Tagging roadside verge SSSIs
It's definitely the verge - there are orchids (according to my wife) growing there. The other side ofnthe hedge is just an arable field. The SSSI sign specifically refers to the verge as well. Glenn.

Near here we have verges between pavement and adjacent landuse (often fields) which are overgrown with signs at either end (with arrows) and sometimes in the middle denoting them as nature reserves (the sceptic in me read this as cost saving no mowing area), so I'd think it quite possible that there is a verge that is denoted as SSSI if something of interest has been noted growing there.

[Talk-GB] Tagging roadside verge SSSIs
Hi Near where I live there's a small stretch (about 100m) of the roadside verge that has signs on it saying that it's a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It's only on one side of the road, and is about 0.5m wide for most of its length, widening to about 2m near one end. Looking in the Wiki (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Reserve) there is a suggestion, by Alex McKee to tag it as: Map the boundary of the site as a polyline or relation and tag as boundary=reserve + designation=sssi is this what others are doing? I'll do it this way unless I hear otherwise. Glenn. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

I'll do it this way unless I hear otherwise. I've never seen that proposal before, I'm not sure if there's been any previous discussion of it anywhere. But it does all seem to be a good idea. I think there is a need for some sort of boundary tag for nature reserves and other protected areas, and tagging them with their designation. Though I'm not sure if reserve is the best word for it, it seems a bit ambiguous. There is an alternative proposal here for boundary=protected_area: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area But IMO that proposal is overly complicated, trying to cover everything in the world, and using numbers instead of words for the designation/status.
