#22790 new enhancement

[PATCH] Minimal support for aeroway=taxilane — at Version 9

Reported by: JeroenHoek Owned by: team
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: Internal mappaint style Version:
Keywords: aeroway taxilane Cc:

Description (last modified by JeroenHoek)

The Tag:aeroway=taxilane is used on larger more complex airports for ground movement paths of aircraft outside of (or leading out of) the movement area.

(See https://openairportmap.org/EHLW#map=16/53.228607/5.767307 for an example of these tags in use and rendered.)

JOSM currently does not highlight this tag at all. This patch introduces minimal highlighting matching that of aeroway=parking_position, and expands the validator to allow oneway=yes on these, similar to aeroway=taxiway.

The second patch introduces a matching preset.

Interestingly, I find Talk:Proposed_features/taxilane#taxiway=taxilane on the discussion of the proposal but taxiway=taxilane is not used much. I fear people will mix up taxiway and taxilane and wonder if it would make more sense to use a subtag taxiway=* similar to highway=service.

Overall, I prefer to have a default preset for major tags present in core mappaint which often comes down to find or create an appropriate icon.

Oh, additionally, there are not links from Key:aerialway=taxiway to Key:aerialway=taxilane which does not help to distinguished the differences.

Please don't use these tickets to discuss in-use tags. There are other venues for that.

aeroway=taxilane is in use, and mappers will encounter it when editing large airports. A minimal amount of rendering helps mappers prevent mistakes and makes the mapping experience more pleasant. I have deliberately given it a styling matching aeroway=parking_position to de-emphasize it from aeroway=taxiway (just like highway=tertiary is rendered less prominent than highway=secondary).

Oh, additionally, there are not links from ​Key:aerialway=taxiway to ​Key:aerialway=taxilane which does not help to distinguished the differences.

Great suggestion! But please leave such comments on the wiki talk pages, where other wiki editors can also chime in.

There is also a world of difference between providing minimal rendering support and full-blown backing of a tag with presets and everything. These four patches I'm suggesting provide just a bare-bones minimum of rendering in JOSM.
