User:OnTour/Map Features

From OpenStreetMap Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is the first proposal for the new design of the Map Features. The goal is to have more clearly overview. Other points are

  • the columns are sorted by relevanz: 1. key, 2. name
  • the columns have the same width if possible
  • the column feature type is not useful and is deleted
  • friendlier design with bright colors


If you have comments gives these please in discussion here. See also discussion of Map Features.
In result of the discussions it will be changed:
1. columns "Rendering" will be renamed to "Example"
2. better fix of width of the columns by different view of browser (change of internal programming of the table)
3. ?
Table "highway" is already adapted.

This page will be shifted on the 16.06.2007.



Only one key per element (node, segment, way, area) is allowed.
The lines of tables are sorted according to relevanz not according to alphanumerical order.

Physical

Highway

Key Value Element Comment Example
highway motorway segment/way A restricted access major divided highway, normally with 2 or more running lanes plus emergency hard shoulder. Equivalent to the Freeway, Autobahn etc.. Rendering-highway motorway.png
highway motorway_link segment/way The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a motorway. Normally with the same motorway restrictions. .. Rendering-highway motorway link.png
highway trunk segment/way Important roads that aren't motorways. Typically maintained by central, not local government. Need not necessarily be a divided highway. In the UK, many 2digit "A" roads (eg A34) were formally designated Trunk roads although that definition is no longer absolute... Rendering-highway trunk.png
highway trunk_link segment/way The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a trunk road. .. Rendering-highway trunk link.png
highway primary segment/way Administrative classification in the UK, generally linking larger towns. Rendering-highway primary.png
highway primary_link segment/way The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a primary road.  
highway secondary segment/way Administrative classification in the UK, generally linking smaller towns and villages Rendering-highway secondary.png
highway tertiary segment/way A "C" road in the UK. Generally for use on roads wider than 4 metres (13') in width, and for faster/wider minor roads that aren't A or B roads. In the UK, they tend to have dashed lines down the middle, whereas unclassified roads don't. Rendering-highway tertiary.png
highway unclassified segment/way No administrative classification. Unclassified roads typically form the lowest form of the interconnecting grid network.
Note: This is not a marker for roads where we still need to choose a highway tag.
Rendering-highway unclassified.png
highway track segment/way unpaved/unsealed roads for agricultural use; gravel roads in the forest etc. Rendering-highway track.png
highway residential segment/way roads accessing or around residential areas but which are not a classified or unclassified highway. Rendering-highway residential.png
highway service segment/way generally for access to a building, motorway service station, beach, campsite, industrial estate, business park, etc. This is also commonly used for access to parking and trash collection. Sometimes called an alley, particularly in the US. Rendering-highway service.png
highway bridleway segment/way For horses, (in the UK, generally footpaths on which horses are also permitted) Rendering-highway bridleway.png
highway cycleway segment/way For designated cycleways, i.e. mainly/exclusively for bicycles. If pedestrians are allowed as well, you can indicate this by adding a foot=yes tag. Note: names are not rendered currently. Rendering-highway cycleway.png
highway footway segment/way For designated footpaths, i.e. mainly/exclusively for pedestrians. This includes walking tracks and gravel paths. If bicycles are allowed as well, you can indicate this by adding a bicycle=yes tag. Note: names are not rendered currently. Rendering-highway footway.png

Cycleway

Key Value Element Comment
cycleway lane segment/way A lane is a route that lies within the roadway
cycleway track segment/way A track is a route that is separate from the road.
cycleway opposite_lane segment/way lane in the opposite way (a "contraflow" lane)
cycleway opposite_track segment/way track in the opposite way (that is, separate from the road)
cycleway opposite segment/way just permitted to cycle in the opposite way (one way street except for cycles). Note - such streets are common in the Netherlands and Denmark, for example, but do not exist anywhere in the UK: where it looks like they do, 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 a tiny segment of one way street at the end with an adjacent cycleway, forming a little triangle with the road they join to.
