[Talk-us] How to tag US/CA border crossing telephones?
I'm not sure if these are common enough to warrant their own tagging scheme, but the US/Canada have these little video phones posted around marinas on the great lakes(at least). The idea is that people crossing the border by boat will call in with the phone and show the immigration officer on the other end their passport and face and tell them that they've crossed the border. It's all very civilized and polite :-) How should we tag these? I took a preliminary stab at one here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3638039953 Thanks, Nate Wessel ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

My only feedback is not to include the "OSM already has a crossing" points, or - is this confirmation that the specific challenge task has been complete? ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Okay, thanks, I’ve been preferring level_crossing myself. I will publish the ~90k tasks shortly! Will let you know when it’s done.

Re: [Talk-us] Railway crossing challenge for MapRoulette
It’s based on FRA data, so it is US only. If anyone can furnish me with crossing data for other countries, I am happy to get a challenge up for other places as well.

It will be nice to see us complete the US. Will this challenge be world wide or just the US?

[Talk-us] Railway crossing challenge for MapRoulette
Hi all, I have done some work to turn the FRA crossing data into a MapRoulette challenge to fix missing railway crossings. Here is the description I have come up with for now: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4xh49ufnwyxp35r/Screenshot%202015-07-06%2008.43.21.png?dl=0 Please share your corrections / feedback so I can improve this if necessary before I push it live.
