[OSM-talk] Minor highways crossing, was ford=no for highways which are known to have no fords?

A good simplification would be to allow bridge=culvert or tunnel=culvert on a highway node A lot simpler and more rapid to trace or revise highways with successive culverts.

Hi,

often enough I get messages from people saying that drawing a bridge 
or culvert for every minor highway/waterway crossing causes more 
trouble than use and I tend to agree.
Splitting the ways and applying a bunch of tags for every single 
tunnel/bridge is work and has a non-zero chance to introduce some 
errors for zero gain.

So I was wondering - if we know that a long segment of a highway
has no fords - could it be marked with ford=no? Or other similar
attribute?

For some classes of roads like freeways this could be also
declared to be the implicit default.

Richard
