[Talk-lt] Is it OK to tag addr:flats / ref / ref:signed=no on entrance to an partment building?

[Aidas Kasparas]

hi,

During soviet times in Šiauliai city almost all entrances were marked 81--100 style. Over the years lots of these markings were painted over or nobody bothered to put them back after renovations of bigger or smaller scale. So, now it is not as universal as used to be. I'm rare guest in buildings constructed in last 20 years so I'm not sure what traditions are in the „new“ buildings.

I used to hear use of ordinal entrance numbers in spoken language, but I have not seen actual entrance marked this way. On the other hand, I'm writing this from building where entrances are marked A, B, C, but this is mixed commercial/residential building.

As for importance, in my opinion, this is definitely not on an A list. But entrance markings are shown by OsmAnd and this could help in case when these are not marked in the physical world, or when taxi service would like to make one more step in customer satisfaction. So, I would not classify this information as useless.

And finally, I remember there were some activities to adjust geometries of _typical_ buildings. Entrance locations in such buildings are also in well defined places. So, maybe it's possible to mark just first entrance (to know from which side they are counted) and the rest could be done by machines.

Hello and sorry for writing in English.

I am implementing something in StreetComplete and I want to ask is it
something that should be enabled in Lithuania.


Is it typical that entrance in an apartment with multiple entrance will have:

- signed range of flats, for example addr:flats=81-94 on entrance to staircase with flats 81 to 94
and/or
- ref=VI on entrance to staircase with code VI

Example from Poland: https://www.google.pl/maps/@50.0202346,19.9033715,3a,42.4y,202.36h,95.55t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sxM7gDCmkjQPWpvJaXWIG9A!2e0!5s20140601T000000!7i13312!8i6656

Is it OK to tag ref:signed=no on entrace=staircase/main in
building=apartments with multiple entrances where neither
entrance code nor flat range is signed?

I am asking as I am unsure whether this quest should be enabled in your area or not.

For reference, work on this is tracked in
https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/3064
and
https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/pull/4066

It will be enabled in Poland, Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia and Romania.

Communities in Czech Republic, Serbia and Slovakia community
rejected this quest as not fitting in their area for one reason or another.

(is there any other country where this quest is likely to make sense?)

Note: in case of no replies or lack of consensus this quest will remain disabled.

If you have some feedback about StreetComplete - the best place to report it is https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues but you can also
reply in this thread for next few days (or start new one about SC-specific
problems in Lithuania?) as I will be subscribed for next few days here.

Sorry again for English.
