2018-03-09 Thread Matthijs Melissen
Hi all, OpenStreetMap Carto, the default stylesheet on openstreetmap.org, is considering to change the mechanism for rendering admin boundaries. The proposed rendering of admin borders will be based on admin boundary ways rather than polygons. This has a number of advantages - for example, it will

Likewise, not everywhere in America has a postal zipcode, but the Census invented ones for their own purposes. On Mar 9, 2018 16:13, "Kevin Kenny" wrote: > Oops, sent an earlier attempt from the wrong place: > > TIGER:zip_left and zip_right were intended to be ZIP codes, because > they were ther

Oops, sent an earlier attempt from the wrong place: TIGER:zip_left and zip_right were intended to be ZIP codes, because they were there to help census workers find the houses who hadn't returned census forms (which were sent out to postal addresses). They were never entirely correct, though, and w

In the Netherlands having the same postal code on both sides of the streets is a great exception. We always put all address information on the individual address. On Fri, Mar 9, 2018 at 9:08 PM, Fernando Trebien wrote: > In Brazil some streets have a different postal code on each side. > There se

That is quite a common thing. I tag the buildings, or addressed nodes, with the appropriate postcode. So building one side will have one postcode and on the other side they will have a different postcode. The postman doesn't deliver mail to the street and large users will have their own postcode.

In Brazil some streets have a different postal code on each side. There seems to be no officially defined tag to represent this on ways. Nominatim supports [1] US TIGER tags tiger:zip_left and tiger:zip_right, even though those could be replaced with postal code boundary relations [2] in the future
