Hey all, I wanted to have a bit of a conversation about how to tag roads. Starting point could be Kathmandu roads, but we could move onto more. Lets have a discussion centered around the <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Highway" target="_blank">existing highway=* tags</a> (please refer to the link during discussion) for now, and the kinds of roads for which we really need new tags, we will then broaden the discussion and involve the larger OSM community.<br>
<br>Question 1: Do we have _any_ roads accessible only to pedestrians (ie, blocked off to motorbikes)? If so, these should have the tag highway=pedestrian<br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>Question 2: Okay, now lets move on to the roads (the gallis) that are accessible to pedestrians and motorbikes, but not to cars. How do we tag these? I see a couple of options:<br>
- for the mainly pedestrian gallies where motorcycles can (and do) go, maybe we add a highway=footway motorcycle=yes<br>- for the gallis are truly dual use, i'm not sure. Ideas?<br><br>Question 3: How do we tag roads that should be avoided in the monsoon? If you look at seasonal roads, there are winter_road=yes/no and ice_road=yes/no tags. But for me, it seems more appropriate to have another tag like, monsoon_use=yes/careful/no type of designation. Any suggestions?<br>
