To me, waterway=* should only get values to map linear water courses for the routable hydrographic network. Newer tagging with natural=water sounds ok, except for artificial water features. I'm not so keen of natural=water over a man made irrigation canal, unless there is no artificial water, even

Hi I would say yes, it is. It fits in with all other bodies of water mapped as polygons. It makes it easier for renderers to do a general render for all water features or be more specific for each type. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:water I swapped over when it was pointed out to

Hi, I've just come back from three weeks vacation in the Sierra Nevada with an RV. I've used turnouts there extensively. Mostly, they were long enough to me not having to stop while I let the traffic pass. But there were also the occasional ones (marked) that were just a 10m paved patch next
