Some people decided recently and alone to introduce the tag "culvert=yes" on the wiki:<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waterway">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waterway</a><br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:culvert">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:culvert</a><br>
<br>Question 1 : is "culvert" commonly used by native english speakers ? Is that a term mainly used by civil engineers ?<br>Question 2 : if not, is it normal that OSM average contributor has to use these technical words just to make the civil engineers happy ? Don't we take the risk to exclude more and more average contributors by adopting such technical vocabular ?<br>
Question 3 : between tunnel, covered and culvert, how many additionnal tags are we going to create to designate the exact same thing : "the water is under the road" ?<br><br>Pieren<br>
