Well said. I think it should be our primary focus to tag what exists (with surface=, width=, lanes=, etc) and ALSO tag intended use. They can co-exist peacefully, as long as we are conscious of which tags are designed to serve which purpose (which apparently doesn't seem to be the case at the moment, for highway=*). _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
