I think I may have used surface=tartan before but I am not sure this
is actually correct. While they are both rubberized surfaces, I think
tartan is much firmer since its purpose is to facilitate traction, not
avoiding injury from falls.

I know I have used office_supply for Staples. When I looked it up in the

superstores and my impression was that it was intended for smaller shops,
including the Hallmark shops that John mentions. I considered Staples to be

I believe the whole U.S. boundary relation actually contains all the state

other ways of doing that...

My take on lanes is that it should be the number of continuous lanes
along a road. This impacts traffic flow and road capacity which allows
routers to make more informed decisions. Turning lanes don't increase
