| The total mess of tagging crossings and a way to move forward | Oh, absolutely not arguing that it’s bad to do the very detailed mapping. But I might need to choose between mapping one intersection to that detail, or ten in a more simplified way, and then I’m not sure that doing the one is overall more valuable. So I’d leave some room for multiple tiers of mapping like the Pedestrian Working Group uses. |

| The total mess of tagging crossings and a way to move forward | “fourteen” should be 12, right? I wonder how verifiable the button_operated values are. V-plans aren’t usually (as far as I’m aware, in Flanders) public by default, though perhaps they’re FOI-eligible? And that’s assuming they’re implemented correctly, and none of the sensors are broken (I’m aware of both happening here). I wasn’t aware of Splitting pedestrian and cyclist crossing seems reasonable, though I don’t always want to spend the time to do it - especially in the case where the sidewalk and cycleway parallel to the road are not mapped separately. Another fun example that I see quite often, e.g. at Antwerpsesteenweg x Oude Bareelstraat:
Here the pedestrian crossings over the cycleway don’t have traffic lights, but those over the car lanes do. I guess the fully detailed mapping would add which is… a bit much :) |

| State of the addresses in Belgium - April 2025 | Hey juminet, fantastic work! I’d love to use your data to help complete addresses in Gent. I think a plain list of missing addresses would be simplest for me, but whatever format you can share without much effort would be much appreciated. |
