Some paths and footways have oneway=yes. Sometimes this means that bicycles may only access these features in one direction, but other times it has been used for one-way features for pedestrians (for example, queues in theme parks or at border control stations).
Other more specific tags have been promoted, since the wiki states that oneway=yes is for vehicles. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway:foot is used about 1400 times https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:foot:backward is used about 140 times The wiki for Key:oneway was just edited to recommend using foot:backward instead of oneway:foot But as an English speaker, I find it difficult to immediately understand the meaning of foot:backward=no (which uses a double negative, as it were), while oneway:foot=yes seems clear right away. Is there really a reason to prefer the less common tag? Does it make more sense in other languages? -- Joseph Eisenberg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
