[patch] hide abandoned highways in default style
Hi Gerd, Here's a patch to hide abandoned highways in the default style. Abandoned highways have some evidence of their former existence but are no longer used. I made a separate rule for this change to highlight that abandoned highways could be useful in topographical maps. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:abandoned: The rule also matches highway=abandoned. While not an official OSM rule, it is being used in the US an Europe: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/highway=abandoned#map I also found a German wiki page for it but not a page in English: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Tag:highway%3Dabandoned Let me know what you think. Thanks, Ben
Hi Ben, I think it is okay, but I don't yet see a need to handle abandoned:highway. I find > 2100 ways that with abandoned:highway=* and highway=*. Do you think these are not usable highways ?

Hi Gerd, No, that's a mistake on my part. It looks like abandoned:highway=* is for the old highway value (e.g. abandoned:highway=classified) and if the highway tag is also present, it's for the current highway value (e.g. abandoned:highway=path). Ways with abandoned:highway but without highway should be ignored. I've updated the patch. Let me know if I didn't express that correctly.

if the highway tag is also present, it's for the current highway value (e.g. abandoned:highway=path).
I meant: if the highway tag is also present, it's for the current highway value (e.g. highway=path). On Sun, Nov 22, 2015 at 7:31 PM, Ben Konrath <ben@bagu.org> wrote:

Hi Ben, I 1st wondered why we cannot simply ignore the tag abandoned:highway but it seems we have a few cases where a way tagged e.g. highway=cycleway,cycleway=crossing was changed to abandoned:highway=cycleway without changing the cycleway=crossing tag as well. I found out that I did it like that a few times :-( If I hear no complains I'll commit this patch onThursday.
