[Tagging] Bannered/Special routes (Business, Alternate, etc.) in ref tags

Sometimes bannered routes like business and alternate routes are tagged with, for example, ref=US 1 Business, spelling it out fully, and other times they abbreviate it, e.g. ref=US 1 Alt. Which is considered the best practice? We already abbreviate the US, I, etc., so it's not a stretch to

[Tagging] Railways along streets

What's the best way to map a railway along a street, and how are the street intersections to be mapped? For example, this street in Lewistown, PA has a freight line running along the middle. Should it be mapped as two overlapping ways, as that example is

[Tagging] Emergency pull-offs

How are emergency pull-offs generally mapped? I can't find anything on the wiki, so they're either have no agreed-upon tag, or it's done with some British/European term I don't know. —Albert ___ Tagging mailing list

Re: [Tagging] traffic_signals:lanes? (specific signal types for certain lanes)

The situation might not be common, but applying the :lanes methodology to the key traffic_signals is just a logical extension of existing conventions. I wasn't aware traffic_signals:continuous_green was so uncommon; I just noticed it documented on the wiki and figured it must be at least somewhat

[Tagging] opening_hours for public transport routes?

Is it common practice to represent the starts/ends of public transport route schedules with the opening_hours tag? For example, Red Rose Transit Route 1 in Lancaster, PA uses this schedule. The leg going out to Park

[Tagging] Unsigned segments of signed routes - US 19 Truck (Pittsburgh)

A while ago I asked about the best way to handle an unsigned segment of a signed route. Clearly the ways themselves would be given unsigned_ref=XYZ, however it's the route relation that gets fuzzy. I don't think the discussion really went anywhere definitively I don't know if most routers derive

[Tagging] How to map public transport routes that start and end at the same place and overlap themselves?

I'm in Lancaster, PA right now and would like to add the Red Rose Transit bus lines to OSM. The network is made up of six "City" lines, serving destinations close to the city, and 11 "County" lines, which are radial routes to nearby towns with stops along the way.

[Tagging] Names containing abbreviations that are the official name

I know abbreviated names are frowned upon in OSM, but what about places like towns where the abbreviation is part of the official name? For example, Mt. Lebanon Township in Allegheny County, PA (near Pittsburgh). It is officially, in all government documents, named "Mt. Lebanon" (though the postal

[Tagging] Unsigned portions of signed routes

How are unsigned segments of signed routes supposed to be mapped relation-wise? For example, PA 235 in Perry County, PA has a short unsigned concurrency with PA 17 going down into Liverpool, where both routes end at US 11/15. However, 235 signage stops where it first intersects PA 17. Obviously

[Tagging] unclassified_link and residential_link

Why exactly is there no established support for highway=residential_link and unclassified_link? Though not very common, occasionally these are needed, and there doesn't seem to be any common solution other than simply mapping the link as plain unclassified or residential. Has nobody proposed these

[Tagging] railway=level_crossing with in-street trams?

For trams/trolleys running along a street, is it necessary to have railway=level_crossing at every cross street? It seems strange considering that the entire street is one big level crossing. --Roadsguy ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org

[Tagging] Pennsylvania colored Interstate detour routes

Is there an established way of mapping detour routes such as Pennsylvania's colored Interstate detours, as seen in this picture ? I would think it would be as simple as using route relations with route=detour,

[Tagging] Potential proposal for more detail in old_ref=*?

The old_ref=* key seems to be used a lot for any previous designation of a road, even decades before. Often a road will have had different designations over the years. For example, I-676 in Philadelphia was initially designated I-80S from 1957 to 1958, followed by I-895 from 1958 to 1960, I-76

[Tagging] Mapping freeway stub ends?

What is the best way to map freeway (and other road) stub ends such as this ? It's currently mapped with all of the closed off roadway being tagged with highway=service and access=no, but I've also seen highway=motorway (and -_link) and access=no used as well on

[Tagging] lanes=3 + lanes:forward/backward=1 for "semi-divided" roads?

Consider High Street in downtown Carlisle, PA. It is one lane each way, with a wide space as wide as a travel lane in the middle, but not used for anything such as a center turning lane. Tagging this with just lanes=2 seems wrong since it fails to take into account the lane width separating the

[Tagging] Exit list signs?

What's the best way to map signs like this on freeways/motorways that list exits serving a particular area, including destinations, distances to the exits, and exit numbers? Perhaps one destination_sign relation for each exit listed, or is there a better way, if

[Tagging] ref:forward and ref:backward?

Are ref:forward and ref:backward valid tags for use? Though only existing in short, isolated instances, there are many segments of road where a route only follows one direction of a way, and some where another route follows only the other direction, such as at a complex route junction. Are
