Re: [Tagging] Proposal: Sunset ref=* on ways in favor of relations

This seems reasonable. It would be helpful if we changed the renderers to render the ref in a route=road relation and ignore the ref tag if a route=road relation is present. In Canada we had a problem a while ago with a user making mechanical edits adding prefixes like "ON" and "RR" to a lot of ro

Re: [Tagging] How to tag a "overhead electronic display" ?

In Toronto there are overhead signs that say something like "EXPRESS AND COLLECTOR MOVING VERY SLOWLY BEYOND NEXT TRANSFER" (on Highway 401). Sometimes these signs will have safety messages like "DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE" or will show the name of the next few exits, or will display that there is an a

[Tagging] Construction

Is there any way to tag roads as being under construction but which are not closed to traffic? I was wondering because Eglinton Avenue in Toronto is under long term construction for the Eglinton LRT (underground light rail) which will not be finished until at least 2020 and a suitably designed rout

[Tagging] Sidewalk=none vs sidewalk=no

Which is better, sidewalk=none or sidewalk=no? It seems like none is more popular but no probably makes more sense because it is similar to the tagging schemes used for other things like foot=no and bicycle=no. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreet

[Tagging] Self storage places

How do you tag self storage places (e.g. Public Storage, etc.)? It seems like man_made=storage is the most popular tag on taginfo but it is unofficial. This needs to be made formal. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstr

[Tagging] Self serve and full serve gas stations

I would like to propose that the tag full_service=yes be used to tag gas stations that are full serve (i.e. an attendant pumps gas, like all gas stations in New Jersey and Oregon). The tag self_service=yes is already used for gas stations, but some gas stations are both self serve and full serve a

[Tagging] Maxspeed

How do you tag speed limits on curves and highway on/off ramps? At least in Ontario, these speed limits are advisory only and signed with a yellow sign (and sometimes on curves you will see a curve speed limit sign and a higher general speed limit sign right beside each other). I have used ramp_spe

[Tagging] Proposed tag shop=wholesale

I propose to create the tag "shop=wholesale" for stores that sell large quantities of merchandise in bulk, such as Costco and Sam's Club. Many such stores require a membership to join. See . This tag has 320 uses in taginfo already.
