Hi, I just want to bring to your attention the work currently done to propose marker=* key with existing value marker=stone. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Utility_markers_proposal#Tagging
This is mainly intended for utility networks but may be useful for highways milestones. It starts with the deprecation of pipeline=marker to use marker as a more general placeholder for marker definition in combination with utility=* Do you find highway=**_marker desirable? Will you consider things like highway=marker + marker=plate + ref=*... ? This is an opportunity to make things to converge towards a common framework for many kind of markers here All the best François Le mer. 9 oct. 2019 à 22:03, Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com> a écrit : > Am Mi., 9.
