Proposal

Culverts are currently tagged as tunnel=culvert, but there is no tag to describe the type of culvert. This proposal suggests a new tag, culvert=* which can be added to tunnel=culvert to describe its type.

Tagging

culvert=* requires tunnel=culvert.

Tag	Description	Example	Usage
culvert=arch	A half pipe (semicircle)
culvert=pipe	A fully circular pipe. This is the default value, there is no point using this tag
culvert=box	A rectangular shaped culvert
culvert=open_top	A culvert where the top is open, although this opening is small enough for tyres and feet to cross it.
culvert=inverted_siphon	An inverted siphon (also spelt syphon) is a U-shaped tunnel, often used to cross another waterway
