Re: [OSM-talk-ie] name=Ireland | Re: name=Éire / Ireland

[Karl Newsletters]

Article 4 of the Constitution of Ireland, gives the state its two official
names, Éire in Irish and Ireland in English. Each name is a direct
translation of the other. From 1937, the name Éire was often used even in
the English language.

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Tag for lay by

[Karl Newsletters]

Could I also suggest  highway=rest_area
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Drest_area if the area is
meant to be used as a lay-by (e.g where you could pull in for a longer stop)

If it is a bigger loop, i.e. they have straightened the road and just left
a loop or "ox-bow" (inter cert geography -how are ye!). How about adding
disused=yes to the usual  highway tag?
