Query regarding tagging bridges.
What is the appropriate way of tagging bridges?
Option1: Use the name of the road, and place the name of the bridge under
bridge:name or the name of the tunnel under tunnel:name
Option2: Use the name of the bridge/tunnel, omit the road name
Thanks

I'm slowly uploading geocoded photos from our fieldwork in Leyte-Samar
last week. These photos are mostly the roadtrip part. Some are
crappy, some are nice. I find it useful to check bridge names,
schools and other roadside POIs.
You can use it to validate some areas we mapped during the Yoland
Question about Mapillary.
Is this legal? Privacy wise. I mean license plates and people faces are visible
(AFAIK they should be blurred out like Google Street View). I'm not against
this. I just want to know if this is safe/legal here. I'm planning on
contributing too.
Sample:

Faces and license plates should be blurred. But sometimes, the algorithm
fails. There is a manual request for blur/unblur. I usually review my
uploads at a later time.

HI Ervin
The best I thin, if there is a ref. no for the road, isname=name of the bridge

Hi Ervin,
Option 1 is what I do.
Take note that if we have a way with highway=something and bridge=yes, then
the object is primarily a highway/road and the bridge is only an aspect or
property of the highway/road segment. Therefore, the name=* tag should be
the name of the highway/road. And then
Eugene,
I expect that only the major bridges have name. And we generally refer to these
by their name and not the road reference. Unless you have particularities in

Perfect, Eugene. Just what I thought of. Maybe we should place this info
on Philippine mapping convention wiki.
I'm having a hard time redoing and undoing edits for the bridge and tunnel
names and I guess we need to make this a standard.
And as for using ref no., Philippines I believe is not fa
FYI all. I know many of you have been involved with HOT in some capacity in the

Hi Pierre,
Most bridges here in the Philippines have names no matter how small. You
can usually spot their name on the guard rail or on a small sign just
before the bridge. These names are almost always accompanied by the maximum
load the bridge can handle (which is tagged using maxweight=*) and

This is a good point Eugene, and in fact the bridge names are very good
landmarks, given that there are not many other signs on the roads in the
Philippines, especially in rural areas. Another thing to take into
consideration is that many bridges gain their name from the river they cross
over, so t
Hi Eugene
I understand that in the context of Philippines islands, bridges are quite
important.
Your pictures clearly show that the sign at the beginning of the bridge refer
to the bridge name and not the road name. We generally say that we tag first
from the information observed in the field.
Hi Ronny,
I thought of using the new itinary calculation crossing the Abacan bridge. I
can see from the map in this area that in Philippines, like elsewhere, ref tag
is used for roads (here ref=R-9).See the link for the
itinaryhttp://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=osrm_car&route=15.168
Hi, Pierre,
Thanks for the reply. It seems to me that when a road has a ref tag, the
itinerary calculator generally ignores street names, including the one given
to the Abacan Bridge. This may make sense in Europe and the US, but here it's
actually quite confusing.
The ref (R-9 fo MacArthur Highwa
Hi Ronny,
for the refs that are not implemented yet (ie no signs on the road), you could
convert to ref:phThis way, it would keep the reference and it would be easy
later to convert back.
On the map, both the ref and the road name are showed. I am not sure that the
name will be showed by the r
Thanks again, Pierre,
First of all, I think I made that roundabout ages ago and forgot to add the
junction=roundabout tag. Fixed. That will surely help! I've also fixed unnamed
road sections near roundabouts, so I will rest the routing again later when it
has been updated.
What do the rest of you
