Some mapping practices in Lithuania are unusual by worldwide standards.

Highway classification

The highway=* tag for roads may vary erratically where there are short stretches of paving on an otherwise unpaved road (for instance bridges). For more info see [1][2][3][4]

  • As of 6 June 2022 these discrepancies have disappeared from the map.

Search in Osmose

addr:nostreet

addr:nostreet=yes

Street names

Names of streets may be abbreviated contrary to usual OSM practice.

Overpass queries

Sidewalks

Sidewalks near a road may not be mapped with separate ways [1]

Wikipedia links

The tag wikipedia=* may be used where subject:wikipedia=* would be expected elsewhere[2].
