[Tagging] power=* tag: minor_line vs. line

Hello, there. I saw conflicting points of view regarding the difference between these two ways for modelling aerial power lines: some say that it is the voltage which matters, others say that it's the visibility difference that matters, others say that it's the danger for planes that matters,

Seems like some of the examples are wrong. For example, M2c... Wouldn't it be better and more consistent relative to other mode-specific lanes to tag it as... oneway=yes cycleway=lane lanes=3 motor_vehicle:lanes=yes|no|yes bicycle:lanes=yes|designated|yes

Re: [Tagging] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bicycle

Hey Paul, „lanes=*“[1] is for the total number of car traffic lanes and should not be confused with the “:lanes” suffix [2]. So “highway=* + oneway=yes + lanes=2 + cycleway=lane” is correct. However, your motor_vehicle:lanes=yes|no|yes bicycle:lanes=yes|designated|yes is correct,

I don’t know why. Anyone please correct me if I’m wrong. My guess is, that it’s a historically grown reason, for OSM (especially all highway related stuff) has been/ is defined with double-tracked motor vehicles in mind. Also, what tools are you talking about? From: Paul Johnson

Re: [Tagging] power=* tag: minor_line vs. line

A simper way to describe this would be to say that: `power=line` is for “transmission” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission `power=minor_line` is for “distribution”

Re: [Tagging] power=* tag: minor_line vs. line

Well, I thought underground lines was to be tagged as `power=line`; besides, I thought like you at first, but I've been told on the help.openstreetmap.org link that the distribution/transmission parting should not be taken into primary consideration, maybe because the difference is not obvious

Re: [Tagging] power=* tag: minor_line vs. line

(Sent from a phone) Hi David, Many opinion exists regarding the minor or not line qualification and still no consensus. As consumers may not be able to make the right distinction between minor or major lines, I assume using power=line only, in continental France and always in combination with
