Use standard list of paved tags #2847
Comments
Really? Wood and cobblestones? Maybe in OHM that would be considered paved.. |
As discussed in the osm-carto, you can draw the distinction different ways for different purposes. If you're riding a bike, compacted is better than metal or the stone based options, if you've got a dirt bike, different options are okay, if you're concerned about washout, other options are okay, etc. This is why we went with the list from the wiki |
Ok, I guess we agree that whether or not a surface is "paved" is a subjective opinion. My goal for rendering the surface tags in iD is to call attention to map features that might be mistagged. The surface wiki page also says that "For roads for motor vehicles there there is normally an assumption that the surface is surface=paved unless otherwise stated." This is helpful because in places like old city Philadelphia, the cobblestoned streets stand out because they have an interesting surface tag. I can look at this map and know right away that they are tagged correctly: In Addis Ababa where gravel and unpaved streets are normal, this street stands out because it is missing a surface tag: I recognize that it's an opinionated rendering, so what I've done in 0b93fef is now I'm including Given that the goal is to help people map surfaces correctly (not routing, not urban planning, etc) I'm going to close this issue - but I am totally open to evolving the paved/unpaved list if we get feedback from mappers about how helpful (or annoying) the "bumpy" unpaved style is. |
wood is the most commonly found on smaller footbridges/cyclebridges. |
