One week ago I had never heard of the zone:traffic tags. I didn't have a clue how one could tag streets as part of built-up area/city limits or out of it. For many years this is something I have been wanting to do though. So I was glad I finally learned how it could/should be done in one of the many discussions started by Papou. Great finding From Lauri indeed !!! But regarding this, where is the complete zone:traffic=BE:* list? (just one example) In Belgium, we have more than urban/rural/motorway/etc. default=rural agglomération=urban autoroute=motorway route pour automobile=? zone résidentielle=? zone de rencontre=? zone piétonne=? chemin réservé à la circulation des piétons, cyclistes et cavaliers=? rue réservée aux jeux=? Abords d'école= Zone 30=? Rue cyclable=? Each with their regulations details. I was lately "sent" to map an alleged Zone30 area and there was no Zone 30 but a zone résidentielle which is equivalent maxspeed-wise but not other-wise (other-regulations-wise). If we had a tag such as INCLUDE:BE:...:urban etc. with which the programs would fetch all the relevant tags like maxspeed per zone type from a well known per country or WW (world wide) database object (1) then we would have a clear list and we could tell the government that they can change details any time without sending us to work everywhere. How could otherwise programs that are supposed to use the OSM data make sense of a such ever changing global notions without breaking them down to well-defined concepts such as speed, bicycles, etc... That would please both the global view and the piecewise one. Wouldn't that stop the zonebabel? Cheers,
(1) for example some well-known BE relation that would contain a role=zones or traffic member to a relation that would similarly contain rural, urban, etc. pointers to nodes that would contain the tags |
