[Talk-GB] Legible London signs - tagging suggestions

[Robert Skedgell]

The wiki lists map_type and map_size as "useful combinations" for the tag combination tourism=information + information=map ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:information%3Dmap ).
Using map_type=street probably makes sense as it is already in use and seems a reasonable match for the feature.
I am rather more dubious about map_size, partly because nothing currently in use really seems to fit and partly because "size" seems potentially ambiguous to convey information about the area covered.
I was aware of the different types of sign listed in TfL's product range PDF, but was not really convinced that the distinction between monolith and totem (or variants of minilith) would really be useful. Something other than tourism=information + information=map would be needed for the waymarker bollard and fingerposts in any case as these do not have maps.

Not quite sure what you had in mind by the tags map_type and map_size, 
but maybe need a tag something along the likes of "sign_type" withn 
values of "bollard | monolith | finger_post | totem" ( see 
http://content.tfl.gov.uk/legible-london-product-range.pdf)
