User:H4N5-antw
User H4N5-antw is primarily a cyclist, usually just for fun or exercise, or to 'follow the arrows'-type walks.
Main interests are cycling and walking infrastructure, secondary interests public transport and EV-charging.
One possible use of the OSM wiki user page is to add additional info on tags documented elsewhere while trying out the usefulness of the addition.

werf=*
As a walker and a cyclist regularly come across ways which are currently, and for some indeterminate timespan, not open to general or thru traffic.
This is a stub for a to be refined tag; the problem first surfaced where a user had marked a way as access=no - which is was correct, during roadworks which were completed some six years earlier; that user forgot to re-tag the way after works eventually were done; was discovered by chance, as several OSM-based routers avoided that way. Tagging a way which isn't being redone, just closed, as construction will make it stand out on the map, but ...
'Werf' is the Flemish term for any construction site: be it a shipyard, a highway or a building; it can also denote a deconstruction site, as in a wrecking yard or once a building has outlived its usefulness.
Those ways may (or not) be open to 'aangelanden', which equates residents, landusers and their visitors); could tag those as either 'destination' or 'no thru (vehicular) traffic'; recovering those tags once works are finished should be a straightforward Overpass query - but these tags may have been added for other reasons - thus if only there were a dedicated tag (access=no or access=destination or highway=construction will net any way thus tagged, a dedicated tag only yields the relevant ways) : 'werf' isn't used in OSM yet, can be part of compound tags like werf:[city name]:[year]=[project-name], or simply werf=[city][year][project]; that'll be my initial trial version, see how it goes.
First instances will be in Rumst, where there are three projects dealing with drainage from a large industrial site, at the same time swapping two-lane village thoroughfares for one-way village (living-)streets and adding more dedicated cycling and pedestrian infrastructure. These projects have been ongoing since 2023, will be completed sometime spring or summer 2026.

addr:interpolation=*:
Use case: connecting address node 42 with address node 50A, along this side there are ten front doors, alternatingly numbered 42 / 42A / 44 etc.
Problem: intermediate addresses like 44A or 46red aren't found,
Solution: draw a second set of address nodes for -in this instance- the 'A'-numbers, offset from the non-suffixed nodes and their associated addr:interpolation line, stagger begin and end node placement along the street so they will be at the approximate location of those front doors.
Note: in this case, addr:interpolation=* gives a good approximation to find front doors which are close together, similarly spaced, but without visual clue on aerial photos or land registry where those doors would be, a multi-band / multi-freq. GNSS didn't yield usable results in this minor 'urban canyon'.

width:official=*
On a Belgian bulletin board, user Luna asked for input on width=* where the stated minimum width of a right of way differs from the measured width;
From the post on Tuesday 10 June 2025 : "I've been using width=* for the actual width of the path and width:official=* for the theoretical width displayed on the sign. This is not an established tagging scheme, but there is none, really. So, anyone got ideas or remarks about tagging these widths?"
Several members replied, there were no objections hence width:official=* is now documented here to be tried as a semi-official Belgian additional tag, subject to any better suggestions yet to be received. .
