top of my head comment really. <br>Would having it independent make it easier for the renderers?<br>Would it affect routers? Would a route be described as "cross this bridge, then turn left in 200 metres"?<br>It would certain save time splitting the ways.<br> <br>If there are reasons why the bridge needs to be tagged with the different types of ways please let me know.<br><br>The bridge would have a width tag which the mapper would adjust to suit all ways, thus saving the renderer the calculation.<br><br>Can I check? Are there people here who are suggesting that, in my case, they want to draw all four ways (yes, I know the footpath hasn't been mapped yet) as a single way & specify the differences with lane tags?<br><br>Also I thought street was a "band" word & anybody quoting it was given a slap on the wrist & told to go & stand on the naughty step :-)<br><br>Cheers<br>Dave F.<br></div><br>
