Hello, In tram systems, some of the tracks might not be used regularly for passenger service. Some might be garage or work area tracks, and others might be used only for detours or emergency service.
The `service` key seems a natural match for tagging this, but its values specified for railways aren't a close fit for trams (a railway "yard" is somewhat different from a tram "yard", trams rarely have "spurs", etc) and tram-specific values were never defined. I have looked into various values currently used in tagging systems around the world and would like to suggest tram-specific guidelines to add to Key:service on wiki. Please see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Jarek_Pi%C3%B3rkowski/Key:service for the suggested addition and https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2019-January/042313.html for more background including a survey of existing tagging. Any thoughts are welcome, in particular if someone has an opinion on whether this warrants a formal proposal process. Thanks, --Jarek _______________________________________________ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
