Re: [Talk-us] US Route Tagging With Relations

Personally, I think putting the US: in front of state routes is going to get confusing. People are oing to think they're looking at US routes and not state routes. Second, some significant caution will be needed with adding signs. Some signs (mainly toll roads opened after 1989) are copyright

Yeah we're getting a little ahead of ourselves with the shields. The first step is tagging the highways in a standard scheme which would give a renderer sufficient data to draw shields. Then someone has to actually build a renderer that draws the shields. Thats a whole other can of worms. I don

f.  But having a place to submit a library of highway shields as metadata - that would be good. ____ From: Zeke Farwell To: Talk-us Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2008 7:50:20 AM Subject: Re: [Talk-us] US Route Tagging With Relations Chris, Thanks for putting up that t

Re: [Talk-us] US Route Tagging With Relations

Chris, Thanks for putting up that table. Looks great. I have two suggestions: I think the network identifiers should be simpler. What about this scheme? Interstate = Interstate signed highway system US = US signed highway system [state abbr.] = State signed highway system TX = Texas CA = Cal

Re: [Talk-us] US Route Tagging With Relations

I have put up a short table with the proposed tagging scheme in the OSM wiki. I made a few minor changes from Zeke's practice and Alan's suggestions: - ref is reserved for backward compatibility and should follow Key:ref's semantics. "number" is used for the bare route identifier (e.g. US 7 -> n

Re: [Talk-us] US Route Tagging With Relations

Certainly relations would seem to be the way to go with route marking; we probably should put together something on the wiki that can be worked on collaboratively, with Alan's proposal as a start. There are some areas to be fleshed out (primary & secondary state routes in states like TN and MO; th

[Talk-us] US Route Tagging With Relations

Hi Everyone, I've been thinking that we ought to have a standardized scheme for tagging Interstates, US Highways, State Highways, and any other numbered routes in the United States. The information I've found on the Wiki regarding US Route Tagging
