<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A part of the land is “the road”, what is that?</DIV>
<DIV>That is the carriageway, but also the verge grass (with some trees in it)
and your (2) traffic_island, footways, paths, cycleways, mostly laying between
two ditches (rural)</DIV>
<DIV>The whole area is landuse=highway. But just like landuse=railway, also a
area mostly between two ditches (in the rural part), very similar and same
methodology.</DIV>
<DIV>The use, the verge has a function, when using the road, escape, safety,
traffic_sign placement, parking, drainage, etc</DIV>
<DIV>We have area:highway=unclassified etc.</DIV>
<DIV>The whole, landuse=highway you can divide it into parts area:higway, so
there is area:highway=traffic_island <A

href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/area%3Ahighway=traffic_island">https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/area%3Ahighway=traffic_island</A></DIV>
<DIV>You could also draw in area:highway=verge</DIV>
<DIV>Both can have landcover=grass.</DIV>
<DIV>For the road we do not need landscaping, we have landcover.</DIV>
<DIV>Therefor we do not need a new methodology.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Although, the wiki says some about street areas: <A

href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:area:highway#Classification">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:area:highway#Classification</A>
which you can turn around in a tag combination for.........</DIV>
<DIV>area:highway=verge is a good extension.</DIV>
<DIV>Also area:highway=shoulder. Having it’s own tagvalue. This part of the area
must also be covered with a tag.</DIV>

<DIV>Describe, what it really is, a part of the road.</DIV>

<DIV>From all discussion, I get the feeling that both a new landuse or natural
value are not going to succeed because it is controversial to add a new value.
Some will, I think correct, oppose because it would fragment the vegetation
tagging even further<BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had a discussion with ZeLonewolf on Discord. Would there be support for a
tag like landscaping=*? Possible values could be shrubbery | grass |
trees/forest | flowerbed etc. For example on the following image: <A
href="https://i.imgur.com/w4gAW6D.png">https://i.imgur.com/w4gAW6D.png</A> 1
would be tagged as natural=wood ( leave the discussion about how to tag the
forest for now), 2 as landscaping=grass, and 3 as natural=tree. If 2 would have
been low shrubbery for decoration, landscaping=shrubbery would be
sufficient.<BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This tagging scheme would still honor for example natural=scrub from
scrublands and natural=shrub from individual shrubs. Also, the landuse tag would
be left untouched and still available to only tag real landuse (like residential
and industrial). <BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Additionally, landscaping=* would allow to also properly tag the content of
a leisure=garden and leisure=park in more detail. <BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is this a workable solution?<BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Kind regards,<BR></DIV>
