Re: [Talk-us] Appearing Sign
Dear all A OSM sign has mysteriously appeared at a US battleship museum in Albany, NY without a note. Does anyone have a clue why? If not, is anyone near Albany and can go pick it up for reuse?

The 4 TriMet mappers here in Portland would prefer to tag all multi-use paths as paths, with bicycle=designated, particularly because we are attempting to make the Portland area routable. OpenTripPlanner, the multi-modal routing software we'll be using, routes for walking, bicycling, cars, and transit, so I'm hoping to let paths be paths because that implies bicycle AND pedestrian are legally allowed equal access I see nothing wrong with the JOSM preset for Combined foot- and cycleway. highway=path foot=designated bicycle=designated This will almost certainly be the setting used by everyone tagging a combined use path using JOSM in the future. Routers should be able to key off the 'designated' tag. I may not be aware, but that tag does not imply the legal status in the US as it does in other countries. The actual tag - 'path' / 'cycleway' shouldn't be such a big issue; it's just a token that could as easily be a hidden value generated by editor presets. For that reason, the syntactic implication of the actual tag name does not carry weight; it's merely a mnemonic indicator of the tag function. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
