<p>Hi all, <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>we have 153 ways tagged <br>
</p>
<p>highway=centre_line</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The wiki describes that as the white stripes in the middle of a road.</p>
<p>I looked at some ways tagged like that and they all seem to<br>
</p>
<p>be barriers between large roads (motorway,trunk), e.g. <br>

<br>
<p>This way<br>

<p>is also tagged type=oneway. No idea what that would mean.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>My understanding so far:</p>
<p>The tag makes no sense, editors use it instead of barrier=hedge</p>
<p>or something similar. <br>
</p>
<p>In Germany we have a traffic_sign that warns drivers when</p>
<p>the white line is missing, e.g. because the road was recently repaired.</p>
<p>I think if one wants to map this, it should be an attribute for the existing</p>
<p>highway, not a new way. I think the tag centreline=* is used for that (130 times).</p>
