clothes off! :D

Publicado por Head el 19 enero 2012 en English.

I created the wiki page osm.wiki/Key:clothes some time ago, to standardize things like shop=clothes, clothes=costumes.

Now I looked up whether it was being used:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/clothes#values
I was quite surprised that there were six occurences of "clothes=off".

First I thought someone had tagged nude beaches or swinger clubs. :D
Then looked the six nodes up. All of them clothes-off motorcycle shops. Turned out, it was a name clash with:
osm.wiki/Tag:shop=motorcycle

Tagging cycleways as oneway=yes

Publicado por Head el 21 abril 2010 en English. Última actualización en 22 abril 2010.

I've started tagging Aachen cycleways next to roads as oneway=yes, as suggested by osm.wiki/Bicycle#Cycle_tracks (in the hope that openrouteservice will then no longer suggest to ride on the wrong side of the road).

I wonder if it is really necessary to render the small arrows on the cycle tracks. At least in Germany, most people know that you may not ride on the opposite cycleway.

Train stations reworked in Aachen, Germany

Publicado por Head el 9 enero 2010 en English.

I have reworked all four train stations in Aachen. Before, the stations showed up several times in the map, as each track had a node tagged as railway=station or railway=halt. I have changed these nodes to railway=stop.

It would be nice if someone with more experience could review my changes.
