rendering for landuse=military #3309
Comments
Author: Alandizo I'd like to add two aspects to this topic:
That said, I suggest rendering the boundaries of landuse=military areas with a thick border in a reddish shade. This would clearly indicate that a restricted area begins without taking away the possibility of mapping and rendering the contents of such an |

Author: Alandizo Noticing the recent changes reagarding areas tagged with landuse=military, I appreciate the awareness that there was/is a need for action. While the previous output style did not emphasize the importance of these area enough, the current solution is a bit "too much". Especially the dominant hachures make the use of the map impossible at some zoom levels. One important thing to know is that military areas CAN still be open to the public. As an example hiking tracks pass through such areas or some streets are open to the public for passing through purposes. The current rendering style makes using OSM very difficult in such cases. Therefore, I highly recommend refraining from the usage of hachures unless the areas are marked as not publicly accessible. Instead, as a general rule, military areas should be marked with a dominant border ONLY. |
Author: Ldp There were 3 versions of the hatching in a short period. The first was only the hatching, pinkish. The second was a stronger red, but that was a bit too much. The current iteration is a weaker hatching with a light background. You may still be talking about the strong red version? Do you have an example link? If you look carefully, you'll notice that roads are drawn over the military hatching. If they have no access restriction, that will be easy to see. I suppose that's more difficult for the track appearance. |
Author: Alandizo Replying to [comment:4 Ldp]:
I think as of right now the hatches are distractioing, for example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.4367034435272&lon=9.77916240692139&zoom=15 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.9137933254242&lon=10.1892828941345&zoom=14 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.0247724056244&lon=10.0918221473694&zoom=15 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.6998310089111&lon=11.8243789672852&zoom=12 |

I think it would be would better be to render 'landuse=military' not with red shadow but with red hachures. This desgin is more common with other maps, it is more transparent to view other landuses and it is also clear that this area is restricted.
