Hi all, A light rail stop, would that be a railway=tram_stop or a railway=station? I'm mapping the recently opened UTA TRAX extensions [1] and tagged the stops of the West Valley extension as railway=station, but now I see that existing stops are railway=tram_stop. I think a tram stop suggests something less intrusive than the TRAX stops [2] so I'm inclined to go with railway=station even though I don't like the rendering very much (see [3]).
Also in that permalink by the way: a light rail line that shares the road does not get rendered if it is tagged highway=*, railway=light_rail whereas a highway=*,railway=tram does get a center line. I guess in the case of light rail the road is not really shared as the tracks are in the center dividing the road in two separate lanes - and thus it should be mapped. Some work to do then.
