The point is that you can not reliably deduce the presence of ramps from the layer tag because many people (myself included) tag bridges with layer=1 regardless whether the bridge is at the same level, above or below the surrounding area. > > as for the layer issue is something to discuss in an thread of its own > or the layer talk page. > but my opinion is that layers are only a convention to distribute what > is over what > so it relates to each other, thus the number is not that important as > long as they are in the correct order. > also i consider layer=0 or the absence of that tag (the default) as > ground level. Right, the ground is just not level everywhere. For me layer=0 is where you hit the dirt when you jump from an airplane, no matter whether that is on a flat field, a mountain, a manmade embankment or trench or a natural valley. > > i dont agree with "take "layer=1" as a default". > > for me a bridge that has layer=1 over a way without layer means that the > undenneath way is at ground level and the way avobe rises to layer=1 to > pass over the other way. > a bridge with no layer tag passes over a way that should be tagged > layer=-1 this means that that last way is digged or has ramps to go to > level=-1 but is not a tunnel, if that second way is a tunnel layer=-1 > then of course there is no bridge. For me, a bridge with layer=0 is useless because there would be no space under it ;-) But of course, all this is not that important as long as the bridge is on a higher layer than whatever is underneeth it. Until that street at layer=-1 crosses a tunnel. Matthias _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
