My best practices

I'll try to list the tags I use the most including additional tags

Highways

The biggest challenge I see are the many lanes in UAE, often 4 and more.

Living areas

The missing of addresses used in other countries makes is difficult to map residential areas. Often street and area names are not clear - not thinking of house numbers at all.

Roadside parking

Street Parking tags in the area and Example changeset by me. as discussed on the mailing list. Key:parking:lane

Tags:
parking:condition:both=free
parking:lane:both=parallel
parking:lane:both:parallel=on_street

SLSC
