[talk-au] Tagging Asset ID's (bridges as a priority)

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Bob,

 

How about one of the variations?

 

loc_ref= or if the heading markings are not on the road maybe a unsigned_ref?

 

You could always have a duplicate section of road and make it an aeroway=runway but that’s probably tagging for the renderer!

 

Cheers - Phil

A little OT sorry.

The use of key:ref also raised a question for me.

An emergency (eg RFDS) airstrip on a major road. 

An extra tag aeroway=highway_strip is added to the relevant section of road?

The road already has a ref tag in use for its route number. The wiki mentions that the ref be used for the strip designation (heading numbers). How to enter that reference?

Tnx

Hi Andrew,

 

I believe the ref key is the most commonly used for such reference numbers/tags etc

its certainly used for things like bus stops

Hi All,

 

I've found an appropriate tag of bridge:name and have applied it to the bridge: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Merimbula%20Lake%20Bridge

 

But I also know this bridge has an asset id of "BID7" for the asset owner. These asset id's are frequently referenced within the transport industry and I believe they would be beneficial to OSM.However, I can't see anyway of adding an ID to the bridge (or any other asset for that matter). 

 

Furthermore, being able to search by the asset id using nominatim would also be highly desirable - just as searching for the bridge name works a treat! So if there's any potential there it would be great.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance Andrew
