Would this be mandatory? I am thinking of cases like streetside stops for 30 m or 45 m long trams. There might be a shelter, which is the most prominent physical feature of the tram stop. There is no explicit platform. The tram stop sign might be 10 metres away from the shelter, and the farthest possible boarding point at the back doors of the tram another 10 m away. If only a single node could be used, where is it placed and why? --Jarek _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
