Has anyone ever used or noticed a tag for a weighbridge, which is part of a service road ? Leading to an industrial area just to measure the incoming loads. asked 13 Apr '16, 22:59  Hendrikklaas |
One Answer:
There are several alternatives already in use for that situation but after researching taginfo I decided to go with amenity=weigh_station for the node (or way) where the weighing device is and service=weigh_station for the segment of service road associated with it. As an American the term weigh_station seems more popular than either weigh_bridge or weightbridge. Note too, that all those choices are in use with and without the underscore character connecting the two words. YMMV, Dave answered 14 Apr '16, 00:51  AlaskaDave |
according to taginfo, under amenity you'll find
weighbridge=541 weigh_station=22 weigh_bridge=10 weightbridge=6 weighing_station=2
so the usage seems to favour weighbridge.
amenity=weighbridge also has a wiki page, which documents the current use.
