Ah ok. Hmm, I'd prefer that the OSM way is the centerline of the feature. This would mean: 1) the OSM way is consistently meaningful in itself, and matches current usage 2) you only have one width value per node, which might simplify editing. But it seems like you're suggesting that the OSM way instead should represent: a) if a oneway feature: the centerline b) if a twoway feature: the divider between traffic travelling in each direction Could work I guess... >>> the thinner lines are lanes. >> >> Huh?

Ah now I see what you mean. Can you add all of the necessary tags to the example in your diagram? In particular: 1) please indicate the geometric interpretation of "width='50'" and "width='40'" 2) write out the lane tags next to each node. I think you'll quickly see that it's difficult to decide how many lanes:right the middle node has, i.e. 2 or 3? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
