For what it is worth (and I do not think much of that, myself!): the landuse tag is one of the most confusing and most misused.

In my self-assigned job of mapping aerodromes, and improving on them, I often see tags like

landuse=grass

and that seems incorrect to me, it ought to be surface=grass rather

Correct usage of landuse includes (in my very personal appreciation!) landuse=industrial, landuse=military, landuse=commercial, landuse=recreational and more such. What that means to the mapping of highways is beyond my comprehension; and, to be frank, beyond my interest. I only wanted to give my opinion on the general usage of the landuse= tag. Perhaps the best application of the landuse tag to highways - but also to railways, canals, aerodromes, &c, would be landuse=infrastructure or landuse=public_infrastructure

NB wasn't there a dedicated mailing list about tagging?

For what it is worth,

Hi,

What are the opinions these days about landuse mapping: connect landuses to highways or let space between landuse polygons and adjacent highways? Is there a consensus or can everyone do whatever he/she likes?
My opinion: I *hate* landuse connected to highways.

Regards,
