[Talk-ca] Closed Road Tagging

[Daniel Begin]

Bonjour Paul

 

No construction activities. Actually, they are planning to move the road
somewhere else since it's the 2nd or the 3rd time they have to close it!
However no official proposition yet. 

 

Access=no is rendered at lower zooms but when you look at the map for a trip
planning, you don't zoom that much!

 

Regards,

Daniel

If they were doing work on it I’d suggest highway=construction. If they’ve
just closed it indefinitely then I’d say access=no is the best way, but is
it really a primary if it’s closed until further notice?

 

Access=no should likely be rendered at lower zooms when on major road types

Bonjour,

 

There is an primary road (ref=112) around here that have been closed for two
year - authorities detected cracks in the pavement that was suggesting that
the road was sliding toward a large mining pit. All traffic is divert toward
Vimy Ridge since then.

<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=46.0167&lon=-71.3602&zoom=13&layers=M>
&lon=-71.3602&zoom=13&layers=M

 

I know that we don't map/tag for the renderer but it is not obvious that the
road can't be used looking at Mapnik, Osmarender or Transport Map.  Is there
something else I can use to make it more obvious?

 

Here is how it is tagged at the moment...

highway: primary

ref: 112

access: no

note: Closed - Landslide warning / Fermée - Risque de glissement de terrain

 

I also added barriers at the end of closed segment.

barrier: block

bicycle: no

foot: no

 

Waiting for your suggestions

 

Daniel
