If that's true (and I'm really not sure if it is), then it really shouldn't be in OSM in the first place. > I sent this mail because > almost all of the data I've seen available for import in the US (all the way > from individual municipalities to TIGER's shapefiles) has this > left/right-from/to scheme for addressing information. > > If the expectation is that we will always be following the Karlsruhe schema > (with separate ways on each side of the road centerline), then importing > this addressing data will be next to impossible*. On the other hand, putting the information directly on the way would be problematic for many reasons. Ranges might span multiple ways, and right/left has to be reversed whenever the way is reversed being the most troublesome. It probably has to be a relation. Include a start node, an end node, and a list of one or more ways (which are connected to form one logical way). _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
