<pre wrap="">Intended use of highway=construction is when a new road is constructed on a place where no road was before.</pre>
Tagging like this, without changing the existing tags <br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: courier new,monospace;">highway=primary<br>
ref=R32<br>
construction=minor<br>
constriction:start=2012-08-01<br>
construction:end=2012-09-30<br>
</div>
has the advantage that construction tags can be removed by a script,
checking the end date.<br>
But, as Ben said, do not map road works, because mosttimes people
forget to change at the end of the works.<br>

<pre wrap="">General consensus is to not tag roads for roadworks (like other temporary
structures). Except in the cases where they will take a lot of time and where
someone will follow up closely so everything will be updated soon enough in
OSM.
Everything else should stay in a database outside of OSM, just like one would
do traffic information.
So, for example a road closed for 2 months: not enough for tagging it
highway=construction.

<pre wrap="">hello the list,
Wouldnt it be interesting to integrate the werken / chantiers in OSM
See
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bruxellesmobilite.irisnet.be/news/les-grands-chantiers-de-lete/">http://www.bruxellesmobilite.irisnet.be/news/les-grands-chantiers-de-lete/</a>
I bet it would help make OSM the most online routing map for Brussels.
Ideas, opinions, faisability ?
The data are online, mostly in an awkrard pdf !
