Hi

Near where I live there's a small stretch (about 100m) of the roadside
verge that has signs on it saying that it's a Site of Special
Scientific Interest.

It's only on one side of the road, and is about 0.5m wide for most of
its length, widening to about 2m near one end. Looking in the Wiki
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Reserve) there
is a suggestion, by Alex McKee to tag it as:

"Map the boundary of the site as a polyline or relation and tag as
boundary=reserve + designation=sssi"

is this what others are doing? I'll do it this way unless I hear otherwise.

Glenn.
