I'll not come back on this but you missed the main advantages of the "opposite" value: - for applications that need to know the driving side, they will need to know the country rule anyway since we cannot expect that all highways will be tagged with this attribute. - for contributors, forcing them to use "opposite" on ways is clearly indicating that we only want to tag the exceptions (avoid an uncontrolled growth of normal driving_side=left/right on ways) Pieren _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
