sorry for posting in English, but I feel this to be a relevant
information and question.<br>
Some of you actively mapping in Portugal may have seen altely some
increased activity from some german mappers. This is because a
user who is active in quality assurance has run a "connection
check" over the portugese OSM data. This check searches for roads
that are crossing without bridge or tunnel. There is a list with
those errors on the wiki [1] and every user can take a block of
100 errors, leave a note in the wiki that he is dealing with them
and try to fix these. Fixing the errors is much easier now with
the help of Bing imagery.<br>
<br>
I feel that it would have definitely been nicer to have informed
the portugese OSM community *before* starting this campaign, but
better late than never.<br>
<br>
Now to my personal question on mapping in Portugal: I have read a
bit about the road network and number in Portugal on the english
wikipedia [2]. I see that you have some new road numbers starting
with "IP" and "IC" that were assigned in the 2000 Plano Rodoviário
Nacional. And then you have the older estradas nacionais given out
in the 1945 </font><font face="Trebuchet MS">Plano Rodoviário
Nacional. I already checked the OSM wiki project page for Portugal
[3] but could not find any recommendation about how to tag these.
Shall I use "EN329" or "N329"? Same goes for the estradas
regionais: Should we use "ER32" or "R32"? Thanks in advance for
your help.<br>
<br>
