Looking good.

Do make sure to tag a service on the secondary rail tracks though. It's extra helpful because these yards are a specialist thing and not all maps will want to show them. (Not meaning to discourage you, quite the opposite!) :)

Good work anyhow.

Yes, JOSM has an interesting habit of connecting up unrelated bits. You can go into the settings and make it so that it won't draw a line between points that are further apart than, say, 50 metres, and that will usually fix that. :)

I don't think there is a specific tag for ambulance stations. It's not as major a waypoint as a hospital or doctor's surgery, so I guess it makes sense. If nobody else knows I guess we can make one up I guess, but it's probably not a major issue. :)

In the past I've merely noted their address information and tagged them as a normal house node with the Karlsruhe Schema, so while it doesn't render on the map, it's still searchable by address if anyone needs to find it. :)

There's a link in the bottom right hand corner.

Yeah, whenever I've driven and mapped at the same time there's been a lot of pulling over to write stuff down. Very stop-start, I don't think it's possible any other way (and it's no fun either. ;)

I've edited the wiki. Nobody in #osm and #osm-au can think of any reason not to tag it such.

Yeah, that is odd. :/

The course of a former railway which has been abandoned and the track and infrastucture removed.

That sounds kind of counterintuitive to not tag it as such. As there's no justification for that statement on the wiki, I'd probably tag it anyway.

That's probably not helping either. :P

I think if you're going to be representing OSM's interests, you might consider being a bit more tactful. Sure, this guy escalated it to insults, but consider for a moment that you've just asked him to rewrite his entire site and then pushed the issue when he told you he wasn't interested.

You should also consider taking down or at least changing the names in your post. Someone being rude in no way justifies a witch hunt on a public forum.

Cheers,
Ash,

I noticed you just put in a section, but it needs a highway designation too.

Looks like it might very well be highway=track (out of the options of track & path. Check that wiki page for a rationale.)

Good work though. :)

Interesting, I didn't realise we had anything like that. I'll have to check it out (whether someone else gets a trace of it first or not.)

Awesome, I was just thinking about that today. Did you actually go and survey it, or was it a Nearmap job?

I know, it's a bit of a misleading tag, but it's pretty easy once you understand it. :)

Looking at the picture, that is cycleway=opposite_lane.

From the wiki: “The route is a lane, but bicycles may go in the direction opposite of other traffic.” This means the cycleway may go in either direction, even though the vehicle traffic may only go one way. :)

So that's highway=something;oneway=yes;cycleway=opposite_lane;

I believe cycleway=opposite may be what you're looking for. It's a rather unintuitive tag, have a read up and see if it helps.

As far as I'm aware, the minutely diffs are broken at the moment, thus Mapnik has stalled. It's definitely not rendering. D:

:D

Wow, that's a very neat trick. Really does make you appreciate how much faster Google serves up tiles though. :(

Dear Ashley,

Thanks for posting this on the Internet where it can't be eaten by mistakes.

From Ashley.

For sure. :) Hope the James 'Doc' Livingston Auto gets better soon.
