[OSM-newbies] R: R: What is a "bridge" ?

[Alech OSM]

Ok.

And a dam is a waterway, according to the Map Features Wiki, so I suppose
that the same tag could be applied to a bridge crossing a river,

but what about the ones over railways and motorways ?

 

By the way,

i live in Firenze(Florence) so I suppose that if I draw and tag the Ponte
Vecchio (not a little bridge over a stream far away in the countryside 
) , 

a lot of people in the OSM-community will discover that  quite quickly
 :))

After all we can draw dams, that are a sort of “bridge” (pedestrians, cars

) on
the other !


Indeed. On of the best comments I heard when starting OSM was "If it's
physical, then you can map it"
I think deciding on how much detail you go into just depends on how much
time/patience you have.
