yes, that seems reasonable in urban context. Do you do the same if there is parking lots along the way? In this case I would probably measure where there aren't to indicate the width of the way (because otherwise - I was thinking of putting the tags to the way - you really would have to split the way every 10 meters). I don't like the idea of putting the width to nodes that much, as nodes tend to get moved - but maybe with more width attached to them, this would change and people get more cautious.

I thought that most streets remain there width (for the "driving zone"). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
