@SteveLz can you please add more context to your PR following the PR template that is drafted in https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/pull/1239/files Thanks
No, please please no.
bridge:name
is not a good tagging, bridge name should go on man_made=bridge
object in name
key rather than some unusual tags that is just pointless complexity
bridge:ref
that already exists in the id-tagging-schema.tunnel:name
instead of drawing an area of indeterminate shape.bridge:name
and tunnel:name
, it is even more unacceptable to change the name
of highways, railways, and waterways to bridges and tunnels. We need to remind people to use man_made=bridge
instead of rejecting the tag.
unusual tags
Does this mean that the number of named man_made=bridge
is slightly less than bridge:name
?
pointless complexity
For places where the bridge lines have not yet been fully identified and the railways have not yet been fully double-tracked, mapping the bridge area is indeed a labor-intensive micro-mapping. This is again difficult to accomplish for places where up-to-date imagery is not yet available.
The area of a tunnel is difficult to verify, and it is more common for mappers to use tunnel:name instead of drawing an area of indeterminate shape.
note that I have not commented at all about tunnel:name
Does this mean that the number of named man_made=bridge is slightly less than bridge:name?
1) number of objects where their name is tagged on another object rather in name
tag is low compared to usage of name
tag in general
2) note that bridge:name
is counted multiple times in many cases for a single bridge
bridge:name is not a good tagging, bridge name should go on man_made=bridge object in name key rather than some unusual tags that is just pointless complexity
These tagging styles aren’t mutually exclusive, are they? I’ve often tagged both since the redundancy didn’t seem to be that harmful.
For what it’s worth, #215 would also mitigate some of the tendency to overload name=*
. (Hopefully you don’t look at the date on that PR and despair for this PR’s prospects. 😬)
Wiki: bridge:name taginfo tunnel:name taginfo These fields are used to record the names of bridges and tunnels on highways, railways, and waterways. Many mappers write the names of bridges and tunnels on the road names because they do not see these field.
