Some places have seating that's a curved stone/brick wall-like structure, that shouldn't IMO be tagged as a bench, but that's more than an ordinary wall (because it's used as seating and is usually not that high). How do I tag these cases? Thanks, asked 29 Jul '15, 01:40  AmaryllisGar... |
One Answer:
Hi AmarilisGardener, why not following the Wiki and pre options, take a look here https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/52.02487/5.09630 and leave backrest=yes out of the tagging scheme. Tagged with JOSM amenity=bench, colour=red, material=masonry. It has a wooden seat over the masonry, I did not tag that item. I do have a pic but send it if necessary. The curved form is strange for the slippy map. answered 29 Jul '15, 15:18  Hendrikklaas |
I think you meant to link to https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/349316462. What you describe sounds like it has defined seating and cleanly fits the definition of a bench. The one described by @amaryllisgardener sounds more informal and doesn't have wooden seating.
Yes, while it id designated as seating, (one of my cases is in an outdoor amphitheater), but it doesn't have wooden seating, it has concrete.
Hi guys, Ill tag a bench shaped concrete sculpture as bench, with or without backrest, if it’s an old amphitheater I recon to bring my own cushion. The concrete or masonry shaped bench is a vandal free object, without burning attributes, so they come in growing numbers.
