<br>
This user also added waterway=lake on unclosed ways.<br>
<br>
Both waterway=fairway and waterway=lake are not described in the wiki. I do get the idea of waterway=fairway. This user seems to have added this in lakes to indicate the navigatable route. Since these lakes are shallow, there are predeterminded routes marked by buoys. So it makes sense.<br>
The waterway=lake I don't get.<br>
<br>
What is the thought on this. Is this something to keep or should these routes be tagged as waterway=canal? These are not canals, so I do see the added value of using a different tag. Is fairway an acceptable one? Fairway does seem to be the english term for this feature.<br>
Should this be up for for vote as a proposed feature of should we just add it to the waterway wikipage?<br>
<br>
