<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">For what i understand, the landuse=grass is mostly a "landcover=grass" tag which was never properly named (and thus it is used like that). The surface=grass alone doesn't mean much in OSM as the surface tag is (i think) only a secondary tag (adding information to other object like highway=* ). <div><br></div><div>For the original question, it seems indeed to be less accepted to connect the landuse to the highway! And i find that it is so much easier to edit when it is not connected to the highway (or to the landuse on the other side) as it can just be directly moved without splitting first. If you want to map the area of an highway there is the proposal of tag "area:highway=*" that can be used but is not rendered at the moment (see here : <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Street_area">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Street_area</a>). But it could in the future if the usage become more prevalent.</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Le mar. 19 mars 2019 à 19:55, Karel Adams <<a href="mailto:fa348739@skynet.be">fa348739@skynet.be</a>> a écrit :<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>For what it is worth (and I do not think much of that, myself!):
the landuse tag is one of the most confusing and most misused.</p>
<p>In my self-assigned job of mapping aerodromes, and improving on
them, I often see tags like<br>
</p>
<p>landuse=grass</p>
<p>and that seems incorrect to me, it ought to be surface=grass
rather<br>
</p>
<p>Correct usage of landuse includes (in my very personal
appreciation!) landuse=industrial, landuse=military,
landuse=commercial, landuse=recreational and more such. What that
means to the mapping of highways is beyond my comprehension; and,
to be frank, beyond my interest. I only wanted to give my opinion
on the general usage of the landuse= tag. Perhaps the best
application of the landuse tag to highways - but also to railways,
canals, aerodromes, &c, would be landuse=infrastructure or
landuse=public_infrastructure</p>
<p>NB wasn't there a dedicated mailing list about tagging?<br>
