[OSM-talk-be] Workshop Trage Wegen

[Wouter Hamelinck]

> The convention I see for mapping buurt- and voetwegen is as follows:
> name=Voetweg xx
> or
> name=Buurtweg yy
> http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.88679&lon=4.58564&zoom=16&layers=M

In fact, using the name tag is mainly a bad idea because in the Atlas
der Buurtwegen/Atlas des Chemins Vicinaux every chemin/sentier has a
name along with the number. But as far as I know those names are not
used today except when they survived time and are still used as
regular street names. As an example, the street where I live is in the
atlas Chemin no. 3 and has the name "Oudenpontweg". Today it is a
regular street of which the major part is named "Kerkstraat" and a
minor part "Oude Pontweg".

Of course, the atlas is only interesting for what is today a path-like
thing. For those I have never seen a use of the name from the atlas.
In e.g. community councils it is always the number that is mentioned.
