You can split the forest relations along the roads, railways, cutlines and power lines. It is a manual work, but at least it is improving the data.

For example this area in Estonia had several big forest areas imported from corine: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/59.3301/24.2921 . Some of them have been split along the roads, railways and power lines to make the relations a little bit more editable.

If the forest is not fully coniferous and you do have either nrg imagery available or a lot of time for outdoor mapping, then you can split the forests further by separating coniferous, mixed and decidous forests.

If there is some empty space (grass, ditch, etc..) between road and the forest then do not connect the nodes of road and forest area. If the forest ends directly at the road, then you may connect the nodes.

Seems to be ok now. I would guess it was just someones mapping accident, not an intended vandalism.

After multiple pages of monologue, some dialogue and smileys you have found out that: * public_transport wiki page needs serious rewriting and improving. * highway=bus_stop/railway=station/etc are easy to use by newcomers for simple stations. * public_transport schema is needed for more complex stations.

Reality is that newcomers mostly use presets for tagging. So it would not matter if a simple bus stop is represented by highway=bus_stop or public_transport=stop_position + bus=yes.

For simple stations or not completly mapped complex stations those two tags are already enough to define a station. So only 1 extra tag to define a station on the same detail as previously (not 5).

//That small thing called rewriting of wiki page remains: Currently there is a lot of hard to read copy-paste text, missing examples, redundant network key (already defined by bus/train/etc. relations)

Dear perk, please try to fit into your tiny brain, that all links in diary entries have rel=”nofollow”. This means that those links won’t increase pageranks on google or on any other search engine. The few direct visits you may get to these pages are only to verify that these are spam links.
