A residential road in a town was changed to service by a user. When asked why, the answer was: - The road now only allow bus traffic. - And because the wiki says: "residential tag is used on roads that provide access to, or within, residential areas but which are not normally used as through routes. Most traffic on a residential road will be for the access to, or from, residential properties. Roads carrying through traffic, or non-residential traffic, should instead be tagged with another highway tag" In this case maybe "residential" is not the best, but I feel "service" is even worse. My suggestion is "unclassfied", but what's the best way tagging this? Path the changed highway: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/62775579 asked 01 Jul '22, 20:08 Msiipola |
There is actually a Depending on local rules and signage this might be More info on access rules in general can be found on this page on the wiki. I think I would probably try to tag the access rules explicitly whatever top level highway tag I settled on, even if it was implied by a busway tag. answered 01 Jul '22, 23:23 InsertUser 1
There is a tendency to map certain bus only roads as service, but I've always felt this is a artificial in some cases.

Yes, the road still have sidewalks. The only change was only allow buses on the road. The road is now tagged as "unclassfied".

After some thought the other user changed the road to unclassfied from residential and service. I assume I have to be content with that.
