Proposal
The purpose of this proposal is to standardize tagging methods for representing advertisements placed on utility poles. This proposal introduces the tag “`sign:type=projecting;wrapped`” to describe the shape of an advertisement placed on a utility pole. And this proposal introduces further proposes to specify the name of individual advertisements as “`name:projecting=Company A`” and “`name:wrapped=Company B. If the proposal is accepted, it will be possible in the future to use only projecting ads, only wrapped ads, etc., depending on the situation.
Rationale
It is said that there are approximately 36 million utility poles in Japan. Among them, the number of utility pole advertisements is said to be as many as 2.4 million. They are often seen when walking through the streets of Japan, and since utility pole advertisements also play a role in guiding customers, they are strongly associated with wayfinding. This makes them worth mapping. However the current situation is that no tags corresponding to these pole ads can be found in the existing advertisement values. This is probably due to the fact that utility pole ads are a local feature unique to Japan and have not been documented until now. Therefore, we propose a new key "sign:type" and a new value= “projecting;wrapped” to support the existing "sign" tag.
