At least in the Spanish mailing list, with some exceptions people generally think leaving it blank is fine for any city, because it means "no" anyway, so why say anything, the argument goes. Of course, in Barcelona for example assuming "no" is impractical, since most streets are one-way. So in the case of Barcelona I don't think that is a good practice. And that seems to be also suggested in the wiki: "oneway=no is used to confirm that (a part of) a street is NOT a oneway street. (Use only in order to avoid mapping errors in areas where e.g. oneway streets are common, or to override defaults.)" _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
