[Talk-ca] Re : Closed Road Tagging

[Daniel Begin]

Interesting,

I guess I'll keep the access=no tag until it is confirmed that the road is
definitely closed. Then, I'll probably tag it as abandoned=yes (instead of
disused) as I suspect it won't be maintained as it is considered dangerous.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:abandoned

Someone has an idea on the best list to contact about this rendering
problem?

Thanks
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

For this reason, I still think that  access=no is the cleanest
solution, no matter what mapnik renders. The only alternative I can
see is using the disused tag
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:disused ). The wiki does not
mention highways, but if you look at the description I think it
matches quite nicely with the problem at hand. And tagwatch says that
there are some instances where people have used disused=* in
combination with highway=*. But this most certainly won't solve your
rendering issue and should probably be discussed on the tagging list.

Harald.
