User:OnTour/Map Features

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.. | |
highway | motorway_link | segment/way | The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a motorway. Normally with the same motorway restrictions. .. | |
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... | |
highway | trunk_link | segment/way | The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a trunk road. .. | |
highway | primary | segment/way | Administrative classification in the UK, generally linking larger towns. | |
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 | |
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. | |
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. |
|
highway | track | segment/way | unpaved/unsealed roads for agricultural use; gravel roads in the forest etc. | |
highway | residential | segment/way | roads accessing or around residential areas but which are not a classified or unclassified highway. | |
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. | |
highway | bridleway | segment/way | For horses, (in the UK, generally footpaths on which horses are also permitted) | |
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. | |
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. | |
highway | pedestrian | segment/way | For Roads , i.e. mainly/exclusively for pedestrians /Shopping Areas | |

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. |
