[OSM-talk-be] Chantiers werken in Bxl

[Gerard Vanderveken]

Intended use of highway=construction is when a new road is constructed on a place where no road was before.

Tagging like this, without changing the existing tags
highway=primary
ref=R32
construction=minor
constriction:start=2012-08-01
construction:end=2012-09-30
has the advantage that construction tags can be removed by a script, 
checking the end date.
But, as Ben said, do not map road works, because mosttimes people forget 
to change at the end of the works.
 
Regards,
Gerard.
