[OSM-newbies] Drawing Landuse Area

[Dudley Ibbett]

Hi

This posting is partially related to a recent post I made asking about linking field boundaries (barriers) to roads.  I should add my interest is mapping paths in the UK countryside so my comments relate to a rural environment.  The response I received seem to suggest not to linking the barrier to the road but draw a boundary parallel to the road was the preferred method of mapping.  The suggestion to use the make parallel way helps with this.  I am in effect drawing boundaries (barriers) that could be tagged as a landuse area but am choosing instead just to tag the "area" boundary as a barrier.  I appreciate if can look "messy" as you up the resolution near the road, which is why I asked the original question but it would seem that linking to the road just causes problems for future edits.   

Landuse, residential, graveyard, farmyard, commercial are all useful tags.  Only recently I was able to identify a path as going though the graveyard of a church rather than the adjacent residential area.

Regards

Dudley
