Re: [openrailwaymap] Railway crossing: how to tag the light on right side a highway that not intersect with railway

Hi Jakka, Am 29.08.18 um 12:09 schrieb Jakka: I tried to remember where I have seen a similar level crossings in Germany. Here are two examples from East Germany where I have seen similar cases: Blankenfelde (Kreis Teltow-Fläming): https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/52.33760/13.41588 Mapillary image available there but the website requires WebGL. In Blankenfelde, a road is crossing the tracks and a footpath from the train platform to the road has its own light and barrier. Please note that crossing lights are often integrated in the saltires at old level crossings in East Germany.

A track (or service road to the signal box) has its own barriers and light. One of the two railway lines is out of service but this does not matter. I visited both crossings three years ago (taking a video out of the train) but I only added the railway=level_crossing nodes and its sub-tags. I did not mind to to road-related micromapping. :-) I think that level crossing tags (crossing:*=*, railway=level_crossing) should always go to the track, not to the location where the lights and barriers are located. This makes it easier to count level crossings with a specific type of protection (e.g. no barriers vs. no barriers and no lights vs. only lights vs. …) and to do analyses from the train drivers perspective which crossings are ahead. If you want to map the lights and barriers individually, you should look how individual traffic signs are mapped and invent your own tagging schema for crossing lights and barriers. What about traffic_sign=BE:A45/BE:A47 traffic_sign:level_crossing:light=yes traffic_sign:barrier:light=full/half/double_half/no (in this case half and no) List of road signs in Belgium: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Belgium Best regards Michael -- Per E-Mail kommuniziere ich bevorzugt GPG-verschlüsselt.
