As we map what is on the ground, we do not have to care about that, I would assume. Let someone else fight with the people that place the signs. m Op di 3 mrt. 2020 20:10 schreef Steven Clays : > To make it more complex, not every signposted towpath in Flanders is > legally a towpath. Check > h

Re: [OSM-talk-be] RFC: explicit tagging of 'Jaagpaden'

Hi Pieter, So to be clear, you want to tag the historic usage of a road as a towpath? As a way of finding pleasant cycle ways, it's probably mostly valid. Two things I think about: For example, this (https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/r1iBEQmaUlqv0BHGmDoIGw) would also classify as historic tow

Marc, In zoverre ga ik wel graag met u mee, en dat schreef ik eigenlijk ook al: Het inzamelen van data doen we sowieso al, en bij het filteren en catalogeren van informatie zijn we graag van dienst. De interpretatie die daar dan aan gegeven wordt is politiek, maar dat gaat ons niet meer aan,

Re: [OSM-talk-be] RFC: explicit tagging of 'Jaagpaden'

To make it more complex, not every signposted towpath in Flanders is legally a towpath. Check http://www.start2boat.be/vaaropleiding/downloads/reglementen/Bijzondere%20reglementen.pdf Op di 3 mrt. 2020 om 19:38 schreef Stijn Rombauts via Talk-be < talk-be@openstreetmap.org>: > Hi, > > 'Jaagpaden'

Re: [OSM-talk-be] RFC: explicit tagging of 'Jaagpaden'

Hi, 'Jaagpaden' are not always paved roads. Often compacted, gravel, earthen, grassy, ... roads/tracks and then highway=track seems a better choice. Sometimes the only thing that's left is just a path. Then the tag service=towpath is rather odd. I use description=jaagpad.And what about similar

Re: [OSM-talk-be] RFC: explicit tagging of 'Jaagpaden'

Hey Marc, Thanks for your response. IMHO all towpaths are indeed peculiar service roads, thus 'highway=service' + 'service=towpath'. The wiki even mentions explicitly that it should be a service road. The examples you sent are excellent examples where the legal signposting didn't catch up with t

Re: [OSM-talk-be] RFC: explicit tagging of 'Jaagpaden'

I'm fine with explicitly mapping them. Isn't service=towpath strange on a way that is not tagged as highway=service? (but you know that I think they should have been mapped as highway=service in the first place, but this is not the case) So it's meant for all those that are explicitly signed as "J

Seppe, en collega-mappers, Neem me mijn scepsis niet kwalijk, maar ik vraag me toch af we hier als mappers wel aan de kar moeten trekken. Voorzover ik zie is het onze taak om onze database te onderhouden, en aan te passen aan de permanente stroom van wijzigende informatie; en om uit te kijken

Hello everyone, Even though the legal restrictions of 'Jaagpaden' (towpaths in proper English) is already described in detail on the wiki , it would still be useful to reflect the special status explicitly, in our case to give a comfort bonus in cycl

[OSM-talk-be] #equalstreetnames

Hi all, Today, #equalstreetnames was launched, something Open Knowledge / OSM Belgium (among others) can be very proud of if you ask me. The project combines OSM and Wikidata (+ extra data crowdsourced during a workshop) to make this map: https://equalstreetnames.brussels/ (stunning isn't it?).
