Key	Value	Element	Comment	Rendering	Photo
cycleway	lane		A lane is a route that lies within the roadway
cycleway	opposite		Used on ways with oneway=yes where it is permitted to cycle in both directions. Note - such streets are common in Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark, for example, but are rare in the UK (although they do exist): often, instead, actually the street is two-way as normal for its whole length except for the very short section past the no-entry sign at the end, where cycles are excepted from the no-entry by means of a short lane separated by an island. This is called a "cycle plug". In some places this has been represented as very short oneway Way at the end with an adjacent cycleway, forming a little triangle with the road they join to, or sometimes with a short oneway Way with cycleway=opposite_lane or opposite_track.
cycleway	opposite_lane		Used on ways with oneway=yes that have a cycling lane going the opposite direction of normal traffic flow (a "contraflow" lane)
cycleway	opposite_track		Used on ways with oneway=yes that have a cycling track going the opposite direction of normal traffic flow
cycleway	shared		Cyclists share space with other traffic on this highway.
cycleway	share_busway		There is a bus lane that cyclists are permitted to use.
cycleway	shared_lane		Cyclists share a lane with motor vehicles, but there are markings indicating that they should share the lane with motorists.
cycleway	sharrow		As shared_lane, and the marking is the on-road shared-lane marking called a "sharrow"[1].
cycleway	track		A track is a route that is separate from the road.+oneway=yes if needed.
cycleway	user defined		All commonly used values according to Tagwatch

Vehicle types
access:roadtrain	yes / designated / private / permissive / destination / delivery / agricultural / forestry / unknown / no		Access permission for Road_train on Wikipedia, A road train consists of a relatively conventional tractor unit, but instead of pulling one trailer or semi-trailer, the road train pulls two or more of them.

If according to local traffic rules a bicycle is no longer seen as a bicycle when there's no one driving it, then there's no need for using bicycle=dismount. If the local legislation still sees an undriven bicycle as a bicycle then you may need to use both bicycle=dismount and bicycle=no.

access	agricultural delivery designated destination forestry no official permissive private unknown yes		General access permission. agricultural - Only for agricultural traffic delivery - Only when delivering to the element. designated - A preferred or designated route for a specific vehicle type or types. Not compulsory but often marked by a traffic sign destination - Used for ways in designated local traffic areas, where traffic should only enter if its destination is within the area forestry - Only for forestry traffic no - No access for the general public. Consider using another tag indicating who can use the element official - The way is dedicated to a specific mode of travel by law. Usually marked by traffic signs and exclusive. In Germany use is also compulsory. clarification needed permissive - Open to general traffic until such time as the owner revokes the permission which they are legally allowed to do at any time in the future. private - Only with permission of the owner on an individual basis unknown - No information provided on access. This is the default value for most features with a general assumption that access is allowed for all purposes yes - The public has an official, legally-enshrined right of access, i.e. it's a right of way
charge	Number		Amount of toll or fee
date_off	Date		Date restriction stops
date_on	Date		Date restriction starts
day_off	Day of Week		Day restriction stops
day_on	Day of Week		Day restriction starts
disused	yes		For features that are useful for navigation, yet are unused or abandoned.
hazmat	yes / designated / private / permissive / destination / delivery / agricultural / forestry / unknown / no		Access permission for vehicles carrying hazardous materials. For values see above
hour_off	Time		Time restriction stops
hour_on	Time		Time restriction starts
maxheight	Height		height limit - units other than metres should be explicit
maxlength	Length		length limit - units other than metres should be explicit
maxspeed	Speed		Maximum speed - units other than km/h should be explicit
maxstay	Number		Maximum stay, in units given (hour/hours/day/days)
maxweight	Number		Weight limit - units other than tonnes should be explicit
maxwidth	Width		width limit - units other than metres should be explicit
minspeed	Speed		Minimum speed - units other than km/h should be explicit
noexit	yes		A dead end road/cul de sac with only one access road
oneway	yes / no / -1		oneway=yes for traffic direction same as the sequence of nodes of the way (maplint will highlight "true" and "1", so they can be updated to "yes"). oneway=no for bidirectional traffic (maplint will highlight "false" and "0", so they can be updated to "no"). oneway=-1 for traffic direction opposite to the sequence of nodes of the way (if the way cannot be reversed). Some road types are assumed to be one-way (e.g. highway=motorway), others are assumed to be two-way (most others). The direction of the sequence of nodes of a way is indicated by sequential order of nodes within the way. Hint: When using the editor JOSM, enable 'arrows'!). The maplint highlighting will help with updating of the tags which will allow simplification of style sheets to prevent unintentional rendering errors creeping in. See Talk:Key:oneway.
toll	yes		Toll or fee must be paid to access way, see also barrier=toll_booth
traffic_sign	city_limit		Start/end sign of city limits, in most (all?) countries implies a specific "city maxspeed".

Places

Used for give details about settlements

Key	Value	Element	Comment	Rendering	Photo
Populated urban areas
place	city		The largest urban settlements in the territory, normally including the national, state and provincial capitals. These are defined by charter or other governmental designation in some territories and are a matter of judgement in others.

place	town		A second tier urban settlement of local importance, often with a population of 10,000 people and good range of local facilities including schools, medical facilities etc and traditionally a market. In areas of low population towns may have significantly lower populations. See place=neighbourhood and possibly also place=suburb for how to tag areas within a town.
place	village		A smaller distinct settlement, smaller than a town with few facilities available with people traveling to the nearby town to access these. Populations of villages vary widely in different territories but will nearly always be less than 10,000 people, often a lot less. See place=neighbourhood for how to tag areas within a larger village.
place	hamlet		A smaller rural community typically with some 100 inhabitants.
place	isolated_dwelling		For a named settlement consisting of only a few households in a rural setting.
place	farm		A distinct named individual farm. See also landuse=farmyard.)

place_name	User Defined		Only for areas. For nodes use 'name' instead (see Notes). It may do no harm to use both, though.
place_numbers	User Defined		For property numbers. Note: Most people now use the Karlsruhe Schema instead of this tag.
