Hi Colin,
Dependent and doubly dependent localities are technical terms and without
having access to PAF most mappers wouldn't know which one to use. And if they
did, that could be considered a copyright infringement. Also, it just doesn't
sound right. No one asks "which dependent locality do y
Perhaps OSM UK could step in and endorse address tagging practices once a
consensus is reached? In the end it does not matter what tag names we use as
long as the whole scheme is consistent and rich enough to describe common use
cases.
So far, I see addr:city=posttown is a popular solution, wh
Hi Andrezej,
I would oppose addr:village for the Dependent Locality as it invites
incorrect usage. There is no reason to overload an existing tag with a
different meaning to its current usage. In the UK, a village is not
simply a neat subdivision of a town. I think addr:locality and

David, thanks for offering some updates.
By the way, I am not asking questions because I personally want the
answers - I am fully aware of how these things work. And because of
that, and because OSM tries to model reality, I believe we need some

At low level (commercial areas, academic campuses, hospitals) that's not really
the case. They are not as formalised as admin areas.

Hi Colin,
This is broadly in line with Robert's proposals. However, it raises questions
about:
1. tagging "dependent localities" - they can be towns or villages. Are you
happy with addr:town, addr:village for this purpose? Reaching consensus on that
would be a major step forward.
2. Tagging

I’d hope these would inherit from whatever the address is enclosed in.

Hi,
When working on post codes in East Anglia I realised the current address
tagging scheme is insufficient for even fairly basic scenarios. I have already
discussed the issues with some of the most experienced mappers and like to
bring these issues to your attention. Robert has summarised his
Hi Andy,
It somewhat depends on what you are trying to map.
The kerb=* tag on the wiki page you linked to is for when mapping a
crossing. As shown on the second example on the page. you would create a
way that runs perpendicular to the highway at the point where a footpath
(or cyclepath) crosses
I've been reading the wiki page:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:kerb
and I'm no wiser on how to map a dropped (or "lowered") kerb.
I'm looking at a road which is mapped as a single way, without
separate pavements.
JOSM wants to add "barrier=kerb", but that would surely imply a

You could also add government=transportation to office=government
