Rendering

We see "", but where is that rendered? Not carto certainly. Jidanni (talk) 06:41, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Why don't you read File:Traffic_mirror.svg#Summary? They would be too small a detail to render. Usually it's titled "proposed rendering" for maps, but a standard editing software as JOSM could count. ---- Kovposch (talk) 04:59, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Public, private, official, etc.

Add tags to distinguish official government installed mirrors, vs. local people's installed mirrors. "Ralph hung a mirror there, rather than waiting for the government to act. Even if no fatalities yet." Jidanni (talk) 22:34, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Yes there's always ownership=*? ---- Kovposch (talk) 04:59, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

I'd prefer operator=* because after all its a simple street surveillance device for public use, isn't it? --Hasienda (talk) 09:42, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Looking at?

I can not actually understand, in the description of the relation, the "to" role.

It would much more useful to have in the relation the direction in which the mirror allow you to see when stopped at the "from" position. (and this can be with a way or a node). A good name for the role is needed? Looking, toward, seeing? --AnyFile (talk) 13:33, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Reading it again, I now think that this is the role of the "to" role, but it is quite difficult to understand it. --AnyFile (talk) 19:24, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Had the same difficulties to wrap my head around current explanation for role=to in English as well as German translation. Obviously it must be improved, because taginfo reveals zero relations yet, despite I judge these potentially more useful than tagged mirror locations alone, that are counted in thousands by now.

Not being a native English speaker I still attempt to suggest role=section for the way given insight to by that particular mirror.

Plus the wiki page is inconsistent by mentioning relation-based tagging approach while the symbology on right hand side only depicts node-based tagging. --Hasienda (talk) 09:33, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

See 17552472 17552472 for an example as I see best fit/use the power of relation-based tagging:

1. role=device - mirror position
2. role=from - give-way or stop position
3. role=section - look-ahead part of the otherwise barely or invisible way
4. role=to - one or more relevant destination ways that require looking ahead at traffic to be reached safely
