[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Various Highway attributes

[Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists)]

If it's a red route I'd suggest red_route=yes on it since the regulations
applicable to a red route don't fit easily into any one category. However
since there aren't many places with Red Routes yet (only London [1] and West
Mids [2] in the UK?) we could have a stab with the London folks on how they
should be mapped better than this. Bus lanes could very much fall into the
thoughts as well as Urban Clearways.

These are all some sort of "restriction" so maybe that tagging approach
should be considered.

For times, the start / end type tags should be good enough, though it gets
more complicated if you have to also add a tag that stats which days it
applies to and when there is more than one time period of operation in a
given day.

I'd suggest writing up a summary of current info from the wiki (I spotted
[3] & [4] but there may be others via Map Features) and posting to the main
talk list.

Cheers

Andy
