Streetcomplete: bridge type quest - a first try

[axre]

It was quiet hard for me to map with the bridge type quest. So i want to share some thoughts here:

As you may know no names are provided for the pictures. i still support that as probably nobody knows the somewhat technical names for the structures. see #842

Pictures may be to big, forgive me, im new to github ^^ of course i didnt map those bridges in osm.

(1) small bridges are not represented in the pictures, so its quite hard to pick the right picture. example of a extremely dirty & closed one:

i had no idea which one to pick. if i understand the wiki correct it would be "beam".

(2)

This one is probably "beam" too, although it looks completely different.

(3)


with the wiki article in mind - is this "arch"?

Conclusion:
Small bridges are not well represented, most of them are probably beam (?), just without the pillars.
For some bridges its still hard to map, as you only have a picture, and no name or description.

I may look if other people are more sucessful than me by checking the changesets sometime & search for more bridges in my area.

It's all beam.

As a solution, we may search for another representative picture of a "small" beam bridge (perhaps not a footbridge) and when the user selects that bridge, also tag it as "beam".

[westnordost]

Well, does not make sense to keep this open if nothing is proposed.

Can you reopen and reassign to me? I was waiting for a better weather to make photo of one of small bridges.

I tried

search for another representative picture of a "small" beam bridge

and found nothing on suitable license

[westnordost]

(I cannot assign you)

I remember about it, I made even a special bicycle trip to one bridge that should fit bit for various reasons none was suitable.

Ok then i close it. Thanks for tge effort though ^^
