[talk-au] Tagging Trucks (hgv) "Use low gears"

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Folks,

 

I think I have seen something whereby you can use the designations on this page (ie R6-22) for the actual signs but I could be completely wrong! May have been used in ref tagging?? I think it was in NSW somewhere.

Cheers - Phil

There are other signage like "No Engine Breaking", could anyone propose a convention inline with the above that could be extended for such additional signage?

 

Answering in reverse!

 

I thought I remembered something about "quiet zones" for traffic, so did some searching & found: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:railway%3Dlevel_crossing#Quiet_zones, but which has apparently never been used.

 

Also found https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation#Quiet_lanes

 

The same idea could possibly be used as designation=quiet_zone, possibly with quiet_zone=hgv?

 

Can anyone suggest the most appropriate way to take ways where the road is signed with "Use Low Gears"?

 

& maybe the same concept as designation=low_gears? 

 

That one could even come in under https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:hazard#Traffic_hazards as hazard=low_gear_required?

 

Thanks

 

Graeme
