I thought the original question was broader than just the patches of green next to the road. I also want to know how to map those green patches when they are not part of roundabouts, or are located between sidewalk and road (where cars drive).
What about the green patches around public buildings ? Next to playgrounds ? Do they get landuse=civic, or leisure=recreation_area ? And to repeat you question, what if on the other side there is a railway, a street etc. Is "green" considered a garden when it is around a building, but not when it is between a cycleway and the main road ? And what about the large grass areas in village centers ? Park, recreation, garden ? m On Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 9:49 PM, Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com> wrote: > However this use of the tag landuse=grass is not consistent with any other > landuse tag. > It at the very least confuses mappers! > > The only 'use' I can think of for grass by the land is that of production > and harvesting. > Anything else is a simple coverage. > The wiki says > > A tag for a smaller areas of mown and managed grass for example in the > middle of a roundabout, verges beside a road or in the middle of a > dual-carriageway.
