[OSM-talk] highway=ford vs ford=yes

[Gorm E. Johnsen]

Perhaps an example of the two schemes is in its place.

Examine this area:

(Yes, I'm using a small patch my neck of the woods as sandbox for this
example. I promise to clean up afterwards :-)

Left: fords tagged as single nodes.
Right: fords drawn as short ways.

Top: using highway=ford
Bottom: using ford=yes

Today there is mostly a mix of top-left and bottom-right.

Again: Left and right co-exist nicely. I do not propose to convert between
them. That is of course up to the individual mapper.
Again: What I _do_ propose, is to rename a tag on some elements. From top to
bottom in the example.

best regards
