Railroad

We are currently updating the pages to include all regionally different guidelines. If you find inconsistencies, please refer to the English page. Thank you!

Railroad

In the Benelux railroads, metros and tramways are mapped with the Railroad road type to provide drivers with visual orientation. Tracks that are embedded in a road surface or a median strip should not be mapped.

Attributes:

Street	City	Lock	Elevation
Spoorlijn / Voie ferrée / Tram		5	-5

• Railroads should be mapped uninterrupted. No junction nodes at city borders.
• No connection to segments of any other road type besides Railroad!
• No City name and a fixed Street name.
• An elevation of -5.

For other means of public transport there are other guidelines, for instance walking trails used for public transport.
