Hello,<br>
<br>
i put up a proposal for specifying somewhat tighter limits on where to<br>
place the transit between the coastline and the riverbank polygon at<br>
the mouth of a river:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/Coastline-River_transit_placement" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/Coastline-River_transit_placement</a><br>
<br>
Currently there are essentially no rules at all on this matter and it<br>
appears to me this is not really helpful for mappers. Cases of extreme<br>
placement are rare but when they occur they often have a high impact<br>
since they involve large scale features usually prominently shown in<br>
maps. The limits i drafted are fairly loose and should cover most<br>
opinions on where the transit should best be placed in individual<br>
cases.<br>
<br>
I do this as a proposal since it at least formally affects the meaning<br>
of an existing tag although practically there would only be very few<br>
places where changes would need to be made to comply with it.<br>
