Streets as areas

Hi, I wonder about my old proposal:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Street_area

Over 15200 times mapped in OSM, and with own rendering of this feature in Russia.

Hi Marek,

Some remarks;
Wondering about what ? So why this question ?
The lanes on a bridge could be added to the construction, the reality, adding just what’s there. A sturdy object carrying several lanes or ways, called bridge. The pedestrian areas are not my choice; they make the (slippy) map unclear.
Have fun and keep mapping

Wondering about wide acceptance of this proposal. I´m happy about that :wink:
BTW: The french Mappers do it as well:

Best regards,

Marek, my OFM already renders area:highway, so I support your proposal.

https://github.com/ligfietser/mkgmap-style-sheets/blob/master/styles/Openfietsmap%20full/polygons

area:highway=bridge | man_made=bridge | building=bridge [0x0e default_name="bridge" resolution 23]
area:highway=* [0x0e resolution 23]

Wow, great, absolutely great.
Good job, ligfietser!

What should we do for implementation in the highest zoom Level in the main OSM page?

BTW: Could you add this information to the english proposal page?

Best regards!
Marek

I did some tags manualy from RWS database DTB area:highway but I used =yes

We could set all major highways in.

Done, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Street_area#Rendering_on_mkgmap_generated_.28Garmin.29_maps
About the Main OSM page, I have no knowledge about that.

Now we have in Poland also rendering of area:highway

http://osmapa.pl/w/area/?lat=53.43293&lon=14.5484&zoom=19&ol=PB

Supported in rendering are all tags specified in:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Street_area#Tagging

We support now rendering in Bavaria, bu we see, the server from Poland is to small for whole Europe.

We´re working on the rendering of steps as area and the visualisation of the number of lanes in area:highway
