Hi all, As you may have noticed already, the FreeMeeting event (26 nov) has been cancelled for this year. It probably was too ambitious to organize at such short notice. Thanks to everyone who had volunteered, and hopefully this event will happen next year. Still, don't you think it would be inte

I agree with not splitting the road. For the is_in problem, I suggest the same use of left and right. is_in:left = LeftTown is_in:right = RightTown I have in my neighbourhood a road on the language border. It has depending the side a different french (town of Wallonia) and dutch name (town of F

For the distinction between the amount of lanes on each side of the road forward and backward is used. The forward and backward keywords are also used for other elements. More info: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lanes It seems consistent to use this to define the name of each side of the r

That would work for your case (different names in different cities/villages), but it won't work for mine (agreed, it's a very weird case). But I guess you also want a way to note which way is in which city/village. Maybe mapping the complete street (including all houses with a complete set of add

I'm not in favour of this. Since the road, at least mine in Ypres, is a road with just one lane, where you can go where you want. It would be the same like splitting buildings because there are more than one shop in it, instead of using POI to note the shops in the building. Splitting ways will cau

The cleanest solution is probably to split the way into two, one way for each direction and name them separately. This also seems like the only way to have a correct "is_in", etc. Best regards, Dennis On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 2:26 PM, Sander Deryckere wrote: > Hi, > > This makes me think of a si
