Hi Dian,
Some questions and comments.
Are all toll roads highway=motorway? All the ones I know in Victoria
are. If so, we should add tollways to the description of highway=motorway
"Construction and maintenance of paved roads in profoundly remote
areas is both practical and uneconomical"
Should that be "impractical"?
We should discourage the vague surface values of "paved" and "unpaved",
instead using more specific tags like asphalt and compacted. Can we
replace the example with something more specific than "surface=unpaved"?
surface=gravel has it's own problems given the common use in Australia
is different to the wiki description. I'm not sure the best way to
address this.
Should we talk about pipestems in driveways, given recent discussions on
this list?
Unnamed Roads should use "noname=yes" and not "noname=*". That's
probably what you intended, but may not be obvious to someone
encountering the noname tag for the first time.
Regards,
Kim

Hello list,
Cleanup has of the Tagging Guidelines page is continuing.
The
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Australia%27s_First_Peoples
received positive feedback, and has now been integrated fully into the
page.
The second Tagging Guidelines subpage of the cleanu[ is ready for
community
endorsement:https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Roads.
This subpage was hard. This section had a lot of really old content,
some of which had been largely unchanged for a decade. There was a lot
of generic, non-Australia specific advice and explanations justifying
what is now well accepted tagging practices. I have tried my best to
update the wording of the relevant sections while keeping the intent
and advice within consistent with the original while removing outdated
information. I've also been guided by the actual usage of some of the
tags suggested, which have not been implemented despite their
documentation many years ago.
Please, review this page and let me know your thoughts and feedback.
If there are no objections, the old text from the guidelines will be
removed.
Dian
