We have a number of hiking trails that cross small streams without the aid of any bridges (people just cross the stream by stepping from stone to stone). If I create a line feature that crosses an existing stream feature in OpenStreetMap iD I get a warning message. Should I ignore this warning or should I insert a bridge feature, even though there is no actual bridge present? Thanks! --Rob asked 24 Apr '21, 23:52  Rob009 edited 25 Apr '21, 02:08 |
One Answer:
I join the crossing ways (stream and trail) and on the node I put "ford=yes". If it is a seasonal or intermittent waterway then I also tag the node (and waterway) with "intermittent=yes". answered 25 Apr '21, 00:09  n76 |
There is a
ford=stepping_stonessubtag too.
