I think that is (was, since I fixed it) an error in the Wikipedia article: http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Aculvert Without a roof it's simply a drainage ditch (waterway=drain). By the way, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/culvert lists "a bridge over a culvert" as one definition. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
