Re: [OSM-talk-be] Abandoned Railways / cycleways

For the first two examples there is no doubt that there are still "remains" of a railway, but I still wonder whether it makes much sense to leave the railway tag on this http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.1060394346714&lon=4.379757642745972&zoom=17 especially on the parking area and to a lesser

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Abandoned Railways / cycleways

No, highway and cycleway should not share any ways. The only thing which may be acceptable is reusing the same nodes for two different ways, but only if they are on exactly the same location, which is actually quite rare. In quite a lot of cases there will be an offset, or it will diverge a little

This means that the separate track should be removed for the 3 cases I listed, or not ? On Sun, Apr 14, 2013 at 2:31 PM, André Pirard wrote: > On 2013-04-13 23:02, Marc Gemis wrote : > > ... > > So why two lines for an abandoned railway and the cycleway/footway on it ? > Can't they be combined

Thanks for your reply Ben. I don't care so much about the rendering on the main map, but on a Garmin device it is annoying. m On Sun, Apr 14, 2013 at 1:57 AM, Ben Laenen wrote: > You should put the railway=abandoned and highway=cycleway/whatever on two > different ways. The railway=abandoned

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Abandoned Railways / cycleways

You should put the railway=abandoned and highway=cycleway/whatever on two different ways. The railway=abandoned on the location where the railway tracks were, the second where the path currently is, which isn't necessarily the same place, like in your last example. So yes, you get some places where

[OSM-talk-be] Abandoned Railways / cycleways

While mapping my RWN walk near Hulshout / Westmeerbeek I noticed that there were 2 cycleways next to one another, running from north to south: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.063594818115234&lon=4.8265814781188965&zoom=16 One was simply mapped as highway=cycleway, the other had more tags and

Re: [OSM-talk-be] abandoned railways

Hi Lennard and the others. Perhaps you can explain how 'abandoned' and 'disused' SHOULD be interpreted in relation to the rendering rules. As far as I have seen, the wiki pages about railways do not mention this. If both should appear on the map, then probably 'historical tracks' that are no lo

[OSM-talk-be] abandoned railways

Some 'abandoned railways' are marked in OSM. In some cases the location of the old railway line still exists, only the tracks are removed. In other cases nothing remembers at the railway line that 'once has been there' examples of these can be seen north of Galgeweel in Antwerpen Linkeroever ht
