People don't know to delete it. Usually I change it to =yes instead of just deleting it. The main reason is I frequently use ITOworld maps to review the county I live in to find unreviewed roads, and I like the color pattern better that way. Hm. Maybe I'll start doing that. I also use tiger:reviewed=position to signify that I've armchair-mapped the way to align with aerial imagery but haven't yet been out to verify the road name.

[Talk-us] Proper tagging for crosswalks
I am looking into tagging some crosswalks, and I've just been putting a node at the intersection. Some crosswalks are really long though, and I think that information is important to the person crossing the road. Is there an acceptable way that we can tag a way as a crosswalk without interfering with its other tags (ex: highway=crossing on a way could interfere with a tag like highway=path). I'd love to hear everyone's opinion on what we can do or why we shouldn't try this. -- Jim ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Here's a relatively simplistic example http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3304635897 of crosswalk tagging http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dcrossing.

Re: [Talk-us] Proper tagging for crosswalks
Paul, Bryan, Thanks for your help with this! My issue was with bicycle trails that cross roads, as they usually put a crosswalk in for these cases, but the route itself can support other non-motorized vehicles. I think this gives me some good options that would be acceptable. 1) I could use highway=footway, footway=crossing, bicycle=yes -- which is a little misleading, but could make sense 2) I could also use highway=path, crossing=yes, bicycle=yes -- this seems better to me, but I don't know if it's acceptable to use crossing without connecting it to a value -- Jim On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 2:16 PM, Bryan Housel br...@7thposition.com wrote: It’s ok to map them as either a single intersection node or a way. Here is my understanding from the various wiki pages the document these things, and it matches what I see people map in places with sidewalks and crosswalks. Keep in mind, the wiki does seem to change kind of frequently, and in my opinion there are too many extra detail crosswalk tags that just aren’t used in practice. If mapping only the intersection node, `highway=crossing` on that node is enough. If you want to add detail, `crossing=zebra` for a typical striped crosswalk, or `crossing=*` for whatever other kind of crosswalk people can dream up (there are plenty, see wiki). If mapping the crosswalk as a way, I map the node as above, and also map the way that crosses the street as `highway=footway + footway=crossing`. Again you can add `crossing=zebra` or `crossing=*` for more detail. These don’t conflict with anything, as the ends of the crosswalk typically join up with a `highway=footway + footway=sidewalk`. iD currently only has a zebra crossing preset, and I think I’m going to add an unmarked crossing preset also, following discussion on HOT list.
