Re: [Tagging] Tagging from fire_service_areas - landuse:emergency

Apologies for bringing dedicated reserved parking into the thread since that is the only experience or interpretation I had. I think parking is a worthwhile tag and I'd use emergency=parking for that, but let's get back to your topic since it sounds more complex. On Tue, Oct 27, 2020 at 6:34 PM Nü

Re: [Tagging] Proposal of new tag for technicality of trails for running

Hi, Fellow trail runner (& MTB rider) here. Obviously there isn't a concrete proposal with any proposed tags, however this sounds very subjective (if not using existing observable tagging) and I think a runner's skill will determine the technicality a lot more than the trail itself. For example,

Re: [Tagging] Can highway=cycleway be limited to MTB?

I too think leisure=track would be even more misleading. I think singletrack should continue to be a highway=* value. I've never heard someone call singletrack a cycleway here in Brisbane Australia, and I always think of commuting when I think of cycleway. - Recreation is just one use of these tra

[Tagging] URL tracking parameters

Hi, Ignoring they've just added an incorrect "website:" key when there is already a "website" one, Hilton Hotels appear to be adding URLs with WT.mc_id parameters to all their web site links. Does OSM have a position on these tracking parameters, WT.mc_id, utm_*, fbclid, etc? I couldn't find anyt

Re: [Tagging] Public Transport Timetables

I've been following along the few threads to better understand this topic, however I'm still feeling that mapping complex timetables is a bit like mapping the full menu of a cafe or restaurant, or the room options at a hotel. These things vary whenever the service business chooses and it is close t

[Tagging] Stormwater outlet into stream

I've come across the desire to map a stormwater outlet at the beginning of a stream a few times now and have failed to find an appropriate tag to place on the node. These outlets are pretty common in residential areas where the stormwater pipes underneath the roads (obviously unmapped) direct their
