So far I could not find how mappers are supposed to map a plaza or square. Example: Around this crossroad there should be a place with name=Roßplatz. Contents to find in the OSM wiki regarding this issue are not satisfying. |

Hi Malenki, is this usable ? http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/52.26415/5.04622 , a pedestrian zone, area or multipolygoon, with ways on both sides. 3
Nowadays a place=square tag is documented on the wiki so I guess we can use that long-needed tag. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dsquare

@tbhz, I think you should make an answer out of that; It's the best answer in here.

Usually I would recommend that kind of tagging, so why you say it's insufficent?
What kind of tagging? The one I linked to the OSM wiki or highway=pedestrian? If the latter: have you had a look at my example?
There is no highway=pedestrian at all.
This looks to be and old topic, but I actually want to ask the same question. There are many examples of plazas/squares that are not pedestrian areas. Sometimes I have found the combination highway=residential, area=yes, which sounds way more appropriate to me, and is also correctly rendered in the OSM standard layer, but it does not look to be documented anywhere. Occasionally I have also employed the combination amenity=parking, highway=pedestrian, area=yes for open spaces that are both social aggregation points and car parks, but it sounds rather nonsense to me.
