Warning for kerbs with tags smoothness

[LorenzoStucchi]

On the validator, a warning is erased when kerbs are mapped with the tag smoothness.

The issue is raised in the combinations validator at line 192 https://josm.openstreetmap.de/browser/josm/trunk/resources/data/validator/combinations.mapcss?order=date#L192

Multiple projects started to mapping the accessibility for people using wheelchairs and the smoothness that presents the quality of the kerb is an important element to be mapped.

Do you have examples? I do not find smoothness as combination for barrier=kerb on ​taginfo.

[LorenzoStucchi]

It is not in barrier=kerb but kerb=* here in ​taginfo. There are 1600 of this combination.

For other examples there are two main projects in Italy that are mapping kerbs with smoothness:

• ​ViaLibera, there is also a list of the tag used and how to map smoothness on kerbs in the ​wiki;
• ​PEBA.

One example of ​kerb. In that area, there are multiple nodes tagged from the project ViaLibera.

Thanks, so it should not be warned about nodes with kerb=* together with smoothness and we might check the values of kerb:height in numeric.mapcss​

In 17324/josm:

fix #20119 - Don't warn about smoothness on barrier=kerb or kerb=*

[Klumbumbus]

Replying to skyper:

check the values of kerb:height in numeric.mapcss​

We use height in our internal preset instead. ​https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier=kerb recommends height too, but ​https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:kerb kerb:height.

height is ok for barrier=kerb on ways but for kerb=* on nodes kerb:height is documented on the ​wiki page as it is not tied to barrier=kerb but can be used with other tags like highway=crossing without barrier=kerb.

Sorry, was confusing, try it again:
If kerb is not used together with barrier=kerb it is better to use kerb:height instead of height

[LorenzoStucchi]

Sorry, I'm not confident with the reply option, so I try here to clarify here some aspects.

The tag kerb is used in the nodes, these nodes are parts of the way mapped ashighway=crossing. For example, this ​kerb is mapped with the tag kerb:height on it. The nodes with the tag kerb should use the tag kerb:heigth for the height of it.

It is hard to have the exact value of height, since it could be provided only in the field, so without JOSM.
