How do I tag elevated highways and roads, ie. a road, or roads, that are constructed above a road at ground level and that follow exactly the same path as the ground-level road? I have attached an image taken in Guangzhou, China, where the elevated road shown circles the entire city as the city's inner ring road. Many thanks asked 10 Apr '11, 01:24 scriber |
bridge=yes + layer=1,2,3... answered 11 Apr '11, 13:40 ivanatora |
Tag as bridge=viaduct there are over 5000 examples on taginfo, and probably at least as many which are just tagged bridge=yes. answered 10 Apr '11, 15:25 SK53 ♦ 1
Yes! I'd never heard the term "viaduct" before, but I think that's it. I've deleted my answer. Also, I've checked, and mapnik (recently) added support for rendering bridge=viaduct (the same as bridge=yes). See http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/3311 for details and examples.

I've never mapped such roadways, however I did find a thread on the OSM-talk mailing list: Elevated highways I would map the elevated portion as a separate way, and give it the tag layer=1 (or for certain sections higher, depending on how many other highways are beneath it). I'm not sure if it should be tagged as a bridge, however I would tend to say it should not. Hopefully others with experience in this can chime in. answered 10 Apr '11, 03:24 JoshD |
