Rihards Olups

Such landuse micro-tracing around all driveways etc seems excessive, but then at least somebody is tracing them :)

@richlv remove roads and remaining landuse looks bad, it means details are excesive. Classic case of tracing colour rather than meaning. Makes data and digital maps unnecessary heavy and clutered.

@richlv ^excessive^wrong

@simon I'd sort of agree... but do we have documented guidelines this violates?

@richlv https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dresidential really says it on the 1st line.

@simon That dos not seem to discourage mapping as seen in the screenshot.

@richlv what do you mean? These places areas around the dead ends?
Show threadRihards OlupsMar 25
@mfuhrmann All the jagged borders, especially around the dead-ends, where even individual driveways are sometimes traced out of the residential landuse.

@richlv I wouldn't define this as excessive tbh. Of course some added really nice sprinkles here :+1:

But have a look here:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/52.475457/13.451346&layers=N

Even the street/way areas are defined. kerb, not only on the junction of a road and a way, it is also defined on the entire length. Trees, every single parking slot and so on... 🤯 😂

@mfuhrmann Yeah, this also seems to use landuse to map things many would consider to fit better with other tags, like surface, footway areas etc.
