[Tagging] Tagging road illumination quality

[Volker Schmidt]

The light sources' positions often have little to do with the real
illumination effect.
In many cases, in my city, cycle paths (in reality they all are mixed-use
pedestrian and bicycle with priority by law to pedestrians) have been
produced by converting former sidewalks. The lamp posts are those installed
for street illumination and often are interspersed with street-side trees.
Hence the effective illumination on the foot-cycle path is patchy. The only
way to judge it is to cycle by night and see.
The reason why this comes up now is that we want to map the cycling
infrastructure as it really is, with the aim of producing the data for a
critical map of the cyclability of Padova. All other parameters are already
taggable, the illumination quality not yet.
