Intended use of highway=construction is when a new road is constructed on a 
place where no road was before.

Tagging like this, without changing the existing tags
highway=primary
ref=R32
construction=minor
constriction:start=2012-08-01
construction:end=2012-09-30
has the advantage that construction tags can be removed by a script, checking the end date. But, as Ben said, do not map road works, because mosttimes people forget to change at the end of the works.

Gerard.

General consensus is to not tag roads for roadworks (like other temporary structures). Except in the cases where they will take a lot of time and where someone will follow up closely so everything will be updated soon enough in OSM.

Everything else should stay in a database outside of OSM, just like one would do traffic information.

So, for example a road closed for 2 months: not enough for tagging it highway=construction.

hello the list,

Wouldnt it be interesting to integrate the werken / chantiers in OSM

See
http://www.bruxellesmobilite.irisnet.be/news/les-grands-chantiers-de-lete/

I bet it would help make OSM the most online routing map for Brussels.

Ideas, opinions, faisability ?

The data are online, mostly in an awkrard pdf !

Regards,

Nicolas
