[Talk-GB] Mapping School Streets

[Rob Nickerson]

Maybe. I'm no expert when it comes to OSM relation tagging but know that
they are misused at times so thought wise to query it here. I'm still not
convinced but won't loose any sleep over it. Just remember that adding
relations makes it harder for other mappers.

Also, nobody has yet answered Steve's original question of how to tag them.
type=restriction is not correct as that is for turn restrictions (hence the
JOSM error) and Paul's example using type=route doesn't feel right to me
either.

A look at TagInfo doesn't show any obvious candidate:

Thanks
