Talk:Key:embankment

embankment on both sides

description says lower part on the right side of the way. What happens with a railway=* or highway=* with embankments on both sides ? --Skyper 12:10, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

embankment on one side

I often find embankments on one side of a railway=* or highway=* sometimes even with a cutting on the other. I propose to use embankment=both/left/right/none and cutting=both/left/right/none.--Skyper 12:00, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't know what's best, but there are even bridges like this. --NE2 12:18, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

IMHO this should be tagged separately, like half_viaduct=* --Vovanium 22:06, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I completely agree that single and double sided embankments should be tagged explicitly different. I think embankment:right=yes is also reasonable (see Proposed features/right left). --Vovanium 22:06, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
