Re: [Talk-us] Should driveways be on OSM?

TIGER drew thousands of driveways that are often simply wrong. They are tagged private and in my opinion spoil the map appearance with little red squiggles all over the place. No other map I've found includes them. Looking around the country, I notice some areas where they were removed,

Re: [Talk-us] Cycle_greenway

I would map greenways/bike boulevards as lcn=yes or, if they have a name, maybe as a lcn route relation. Other than that, I think it's more important to map physical characteristics such as stop signs, bike-specific infrastructure, diverters, and speed limits on those routes. Harald. On Mon,

Re: [Talk-us] Cycle_greenway

All occurrences of cycleway=cycle_greenway seem to be in Seattle as of now: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/bI5 There are at least a few different accounts adding that tag, but STBrenden included the greenway tag in some changeset comments (ie http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/21347401). Have

Re: [Talk-us] Should driveways be on OSM?

In rural parts of the northeast (particularly Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine) it's actually rather helpful to have driveways mapped. In many cases, it's difficult to tell from the main road (with "main" being a relative term) whether a traveled way is the limited-maintenance public right-of-way

Re: [Talk-us] Should driveways be on OSM?

I run into this as well. If I don't see anything close to the way on imagery I definitely have very little problem deleting them. I also question the access=private tagging although not because of the rendering. I mean technically it is correct I suppose but if you are trying to route to an

Re: [Talk-us] Should driveways be on OSM?

I delete plenty of TIGER driveways myself (mostly in the midwest, *highfive*!), but I wouldn't say that the accurate ones should be removed. If they can be identified as private driveways, they could more easily just not be rendered on a map with no loss of accurate data for people who might

[Talk-us] Cycle_greenway

Hello to the US community, I have found some edits in the Seattle area that have cycleway: cycle_greenway I can find no reference to this tag within the wiki. Can someone please advise on the credibility of this tag. Also comment if someone is using this tag in a rendering or other application.

Re: [Talk-us] Should driveways be on OSM?

I always add driveways to the map when there is more than one house or building on said driveway. Regards, Nathan P email: natf...@gmail.com On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 7:44 AM, Nate Wessel wrote: > I delete plenty of TIGER driveways myself (mostly in the midwest, >

Re: [Talk-us] Should driveways be on OSM?

If the driveway is long enough, or if it is shared, I think it is a good idea to have them in the map (highway=service, service=driveway). In many areas that I’ve mapped it would be the only hope for someone to use OSM to navigate to a specific address. And on most map rendering the service

Re: [Talk-us] Should driveways be on OSM?

They can be mapped, especially the long ones and tagged as highway=service, service=driveway, and typically access=private. I don't care for the appearance of the map, it's more important to connect houses that are further away from the main road via the proper driveway to allow navigation to the
