This might not have been clear from my statement but this is not based on a particular local situation in Germany but comes from looking at data worldwide. man_made=embankment is almost exclusively used for one-sided artificial slopes - prominently supported by OSM-Carto rendering it this way. barrier=embankment is in the relatively small volume of use mostly used for symmetric structures with slopes on both sides. And current tagging documentation does not provide a clear suggestion how to tag such - if with embankment=yes as a standalone tag or with man_made=embankment + embankment=both or embankment=two_sided. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
