>> Please consider how important the location is for the driver/operator, and that the culvert is not just somewhere along a (long) length of road.

And OSM is open data, so if someone is interested in culverts they can make their own rendering!


>> Another reason is most bridges and culverts have formal structure/identification numbers. We would like to see OpenStreetMap cater for both spatial and a-spatial relationships to external systems - typically those in local and state government. Many of these 'external' systems do not have a spatial component and would compliment each other nicely.

I've driven over quite a few bridges & culverts, in both built-up & country areas, & very few of them have weight limits posted. If you're accessing external (Govt?) data-bases that have these details listed, do we have permission to use their data in OSM?
