Hi,<br>
<br>
I wanted to map the agglomeration of my village and I am wondering
again.<br>
<a
href="http://www.google.be/search?&q=agglom%C3%A9ration%20site:openstreetmap.org%20-communaut%C3%A9">http://www.google.be/search?&q=agglomération
site:openstreetmap.org -communauté</a><br>
as well as a wiki search returns very vague information.<br>
OSM-talk-fr sounds like associating agglomération and speed limit.<br>
<br>
<a
href="http://www.code-de-la-route.be/textes-legaux/sections/ar/code-de-la-route/100-art2">However,
at least in Belgium, the definition of agglomération is very
strict </a> (<a
href="http://translate.google.be/translate?u=http%3A//www.code-de-la-route.be/textes-legaux/sections/ar/code-de-la-route/100-art2&hl=fr&langpair=auto%7Cen&tbb=1&ie=UTF-8">Engooglish</a>)<br>
<a
href="http://www.code-de-la-route.be/component/search/?searchword=agglom%C3%A9rations&searchphrase=all&Itemid=48">as
well as, although a link list seems yet to have to be invented,
what it implies </a> (<a
href="http://translate.google.be/translate?u=http%3A//www.code-de-la-route.be/component/search/%3Fsearchword%3Dagglom%25C3%25A9rations%26searchphrase%3Dall%26Itemid%3D48&hl=fr&langpair=auto%7Cen&tbb=1&ie=UTF-8">Engooglish</a>),<br>
much more than a speed limit.<br>
<br>
How is an agglomération tagged?<br>
With residential ways?<br>
Not every agglomeration part is residential and there are residences
outside agglomerations.<br>
When we're not facing the single road traversing a village, an
agglomeration looks much like an area.<br>
It would indeed be a chore to tag every road of the agglomération of
a big city.<br>
But that's an area of roads, more like gloves than mittens.<br>
<br>
An agglomération is ≤ a village which is ≤ an old commune which is
< a commune = municipality.<br>
That's an observation similar to what I've read on OSM-talk-fr.<br>
But an agglomeration has nothing to do with administrative stuff.<br>
Else, in Belgium, we would have agglomérations and agglomeraties
overlapping each other ;-)<br>
Hence, it's not a subarea of a commune (municipality).<br>
<br>
Is my reasoning correct that I should I make a relation containing
the roads?<br>
<br>
But how do I tag it so that software recognize it as an
agglomération as described above???<br>
<br>
Well, if I too consider just the speed limit, I see that <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Speed_limits">Speed_limits</a>
applies to roads, railways! and waterways!!! Not relations !!!!!<br>
<br>
How do we tag agglomérations?<br>
<br>
Cheers, <br>
<br>
