[Tagging] improve tagging of traffic_calming

2015-11-20 Thread GerdP
Hi all, I've noticed that a few (940) traffic_calmings are mapped as highway=traffic_calming , most of them also have the tag traffic_calming=*, but ~ 10% did not. The vast majority (> 212000) of the nodes tagged traffic_calming=* is not also tagged highway=traffic_calming. I looked at the wiki

Hi Hans, Yes, I think I need help, not only from you: I've commented many of the changesets which introduced new highway=* tags on ways which are rarely used. I learned that many of them were typos, often highway=* should be historic=* or railway=* or waterway=*. I think I can manage to cleanup t

Hi all, I've contacted a few mappers and it seems that there is a need to keep some of the ways for the reason described by Mateusz below. Now, as so many before, I try to find a good tag to express this. Using a line with only a note tag is no good idea as QA tools will not like them. IMHO the
