Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - crossing=marked

Do we map the pedestrian aspects of traffic light controlled crossings? i.e the Walk/DontWalk or the Green/Red figures? As a pedestrian I have used many British traffic junctions controlled by traffic lights for the vehicles but no aspects for the pedestrian who has to guess and hope. Can we

Re: [Tagging] Apps of delivery

Like the idea. delivery_contact might be better. What about multiple delivery companies from one poi/restaurant? Maintainability of the tag might be an issue - how often does the delivery supplier change? In my area there are at least 3 delivery suppliers all competing for business. TonyS99

Re: [Tagging] Misuse of name tag for route description

To me what is emerging is that there is no formal or official name for  many of the things we are trying to map. If OSM puts a name against a route it is the idea of the individual mapper possibly in agreement with others. If a guidebook has a named walking route which is a different name to t

space for the disabled has a dedicated "access aisle" similar to the photo. If you want to achieve disabled (wheelchair) routing I would assume it to be sufficient to map the disabled parking spaces within the car park. [1] https://mycloud.snowandsnow.us/index.php/s/F2mAATCQ54Szf

I'm not in favour of combining ditch and drain. My mind sees a ditch as a dug-out stream which may flow into a stream or flow into a drain, the drain being a much larger flow. I see drains as having water flow several metres wide but a ditch as less than a metre of surface flow. TonyS On 11/0
