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 BeLux 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.

• Railroads should be mapped uninterrupted. No junction nodes at city borders.
• At crossings on the same level, the railroad may be connected to the road.
• No City name. A Street name can be added if it helps drivers to orient themselves. Better avoid general names like "Railroad" to prevent cluttering the screen.
• Set elevation according to the real situation.

For other means of public transport there are other guidelines, for instance pedestrian boardwalks used for public transport.
