The way I understand it, a culvert is just a tiny pseudo-bridge, physically equivalent to a tunnel under an embankment. Culverts don't show up in the US National Bridge Inventory, which is a database of bridges on public roads. They normally carry water under roads, but may also carry a private farm access road under a highway that splits a farmer's land.
I think culvert=yes is ambiguous: does it refer to the feature on top or underneath? It may be best to use bridge=culvert and tunnel=culvert instead (the former saying that it's not a true bridge; the latter equivalent to tunnel=yes). -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Culvert-and-average-contributor-tp5466555p5467745.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
