Moving Stops using aerial imagery
Is it OK to move a bus stop if I can see from the aerial photography that it's slightly off? OliverLondon 11:23, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Procedure for Merging
I've changed the procedure for merging today after looking at some discussions on talk groups. Its been done with the aim of getting the ball rolling, and I hope it gets edited and improved --Jamicu 13:33, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
kerb=raised
As brought up in the talk-gb mailing list, I think we should be marking the raised kerbs used to aid accessibility as kerb=raised.
See http://www.flickr.com/photos/pobice/3925707792/ for an example of a raised kerb.
I did suggest wheelchair=yes, but as pointed out in the thread, the kerbs don't just aid wheelchair access, plus its hard to verify if all buses serving the stop will have a low floor. --Pobice 09:46, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Physically Present ambiguity
RE: "Do NOT add a highway=bus_stop tag, or delete the existing highway=bus_stop tag"
I assume it is best to remove the highway=bus_stop tag for stops that don't exist, since these shouldn't appear on rendered maps. I have seen several customary NaPTAN bus stops without the highway=bus_stop indicating this sort of use. The above phrasing though is ambiguous. Shouldn't it just be "Remove the highway=bus_stop tag (if present)" ?

- I agree. Could be clearer.
- I think maybe in some areas, or at an earlier stage some NaPTAN nodes were imported without the highway=bus_stop tag, and procedure then was to add the tag. ...maybe -- Harry Wood 17:09, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Relations for groups of stops
The NaPTAN inport has introduced relations for groups of individual bus stops that are adjacent to each other and share the same name. However, these relations don't have a type attribute. Should we be thinking about a suitable 'type' to add? It seems that having that attribute is a common feature of all the other documented uses of Relations.
With this in mind, there's a proposal at Stop_area#Stop_.28Stop_Place.29_2 to use type=site and site=stop_area for such relations. There's also a more complicated proposal at Proposed_features/Stop_Place#Stop_Area which would use type=site and then either site=bus_stop or site=bus_station for bus stop grouping. Both agree on type=site, which fits into the broader Relations/Proposed/Site. Any thoughts?

- http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NaPTAN/Tag_mappings#StopArea states that site=stop_area should be used, with further tagging to identify the type of stop collection. -- Rjw62 20:11, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
