These are sort of the things I would appreciate I could be able to
map in OSM. Even with the subjective point of view that might
represent to tag a way as insecure or not, it is easily achievable
to determine a way or schema in wich you could identify wether a
street is safe to walk or pass through under determinated
conditions.<br>
<br>
For example, I've been wondering if I could use class=bicycle to
properly identify bicycle friendly streets in my city, considering
we have no cycleways. In that process, I have found that some
routing engines send me by streets I can't pass through by night nor
alone, because they are very dangerous.<br>
<br>
I know I could map if the streets are well iluminated or how is
their surface, but that's not enough to what happens on those
streets (gangs and violence, for example). I could also use the
class=bicycle tag and "hack" a routing service to properly identify
these tags, but that's doesn't give me the real reflect of reality:
I can move around those street by day, not on the night.<br>
<br>
I guess this scenario is similar to the one you mention, so I would
propose two things: use a similar scheme tagging as class=bicycle
for pedestrian (that it may be developed), and to propose a
time-based tagging (hourly or night/day).<br>
<br>
On the other hand, some weeks ago I read about these kind of
projects and tags within the map feaures, and how they could be
misguided the OSM project to other things that are not included in
the initial mission of the global project (to create a geo-database
for scienteific and academic purpose).<br>
<br>
But I guess we can discuss how much would OSM as a service or OSM as
a databse for social science research might be excellent to the
whole global initiative and for incursioning in other research
fields involving OSM.<br>

<div style="font-size: 13px;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:

correcting map errors. Thoughts on something like this? Delete
it? Modify it? Does OSM care to map this type of local
information?

llevar a la vista cosas de valor", translates as, "Dangerous
at night or for single women. Do not carry things of value in
