In this case a traffic sign says "no motor vehicles - except invataxi", and an invataxi means a taxi specifically for transporting the wheelchair bound. A common taxi with a disabled person is not an invataxi. I know there's an "assisted living" house at the eastern end of the peninsula, so the city has made sure they have a route past the passenger harbour traffic.

The shop's slogan is "anything from rubber and plastic". They sell all sorts of stuff like curtains, toys, rainwear, storage boxes, plastic by the meter, carpets, decorations, some tools, etc. Now that I checked, some wooden toys too, but it's a strange place if you haven't experienced it before. The owner has other stores for industrial rubber/plastic stuff like seals, cables and pipes etc.

Jos se näyttää yhdistetyltä tai erotetulta jalkakäytävältä ja pyörätieltä, ja toimii kuin sellainen, niin cycleway. Jos se on track, niin siellä jossain normitilanteissa muutakin moottoriajoneuvoliikennettä kuin lumiauroja tms. Se ettei talvella pääse pyörällä, on ominaisuus eikä pääluokitusta muuttava asia. snowplowing=no , bicycle:conditional=no @ winter.

En aluetta tunne mutta en heti keksi syytä miksi kevyen liikenteen väylän näköinen ja sellaiseksi ilmeisesti jopa merkein osoitettu reitti ei olisi normaali highway=cycleway + foot=designated/yes?

I guess it's not very easy to see from the history of that wiki page that I was heavily involved in developing the parking:lane:*=* tags... if there's a no_stopping=* still left on some of these ways, that just predates the parking:lane syntax :)

It's intentionally different type.

True, on buildings and highways it's a josm autocompletion mixup.

It is a footway (quacks like "mainly for pedestrians") to and from the bus stop?

18556275 over 9 years ago

Here, path, footway and others seem unfitting, because the primary Vihdintie is not allowed for pedestrians and cyclists; little to the south and in the junction with Kaupintie (north) there are compulsory foot and cycleway signs (and also next to the ways leading away from the bus stop). (There's also a guard rail between the carriageways, so crossing the road is not even possible.)

The only reason why some sort of connection between the platform and the main carriageway is needed, is that those signs have an additional sign "mopeds allowed", i.e. anyone driving a moped towards south can either select the cycleway back at the Kaupintie junction, or they can turn off (right) at the bus stop. (I'm not certain if they can even continue southwest to the end of Meijeritie, but unlikely to survey there anytime soon.)

It's too different from the "general catch-all way for all nonmotorized" (or what was it) as path is being consumed, so I wouldn't want to use that. If it weren't for the mopeds, there wouldn't be anything. This tag was just a way to tell that it's a linear traversable way, that doesn't exist as a 'separate' physical element.

It's not a traffic sign as such, or legally, but an overhead electronic display, usually showing temperature of the air and road surface, and projected driving time to selected intersecting trunk roads in current traffic conditions, and possibly other messages if needed. Seems I have used information=information_portal before, but I couldn't find a better tag at this time.

I thought I'd seen some list discussions about these, but couldn't remember when I first entered this one. It's not a traffic sign (no legal meaning), it's relevant only for road users and atomically related to the road (like highway=traffic_mirror), but not purely man_made=* (the man_made=beam holding the display is "just" man_made).

Please, random text on the wiki is not a permission to do undiscussed mechanical edits, especially when they remove tags.

a) It is seldom used because it's hard to collect (which makes it even more useful to store) b) The system does not have an international/global counterpart and c) in OSM, nobody has the authority to remove data others have contributed, unless they know it misdescribes what is on the ground.

30272152 over 10 years ago

Oh, one more thing. Especially seldom used words in the tags can get the osm feature browse pages a nice first page visibility in general search engines' results, which can be surprisingly helpful in the future.

30272152 over 10 years ago

Especially now that they're still in a testing and monitoring phase, i.e. the city tries to measure whether they affect the drivers' behaviour in any manner, or if some devices are better than the others, storage of the information is necessarily unorthodox.

If I were to start tagging some obscure details which only occur, say, once in each municipality, it would take a long time to add more than one of them; but it'd be pointless to remove it while waiting for others to tag them in other cities.

The tag not:name=x is a valid tag used in the UK, see for example http://www.mappa-mercia.org/2015/01/fix-that-road-name.html

Please don't remove data.

This change added the tag "building:material" to a footway? Seems peculiar.

30313516 over 10 years ago

Without knowing the location, I am quite certain that tag change changed the meaning from "maxstay 1 hour if between 8:00-17:00, unrestricted otherwise" to "maxstay 1 hour if open, completely closed outside of 8:00-17:00". Such are the common traffic signs.

Hei, oliko tuolta Keskuspuiston itäiseltä väylältä poistettu ne liikennemerkit jotka kielsivät pyöräilyn vähintään osalta matkaa kokonaan, ja ainakin pohjoispäässä oli aiemmin vain toiseen suuntaan kun etelästä taisi olla kiertomerkkejä?

Hi, did you check the traffic signs carefully in Keskuspuisto? At least some of the ways you changed to cycleway used to have signs forbidding cycling, I haven't read about any plans to remove them.

26723448 over 10 years ago

Hi, had they really removed the traffic signs? What you just changed to footway used to be a combined/segregated cycleway. Even the signs are still in OSM.

Oliko tuolta Osmontien reunasta oikeasti poistettu kevyen liikenteen väylän liikennemerkit? Muutoin se on yhä cycleway.
