police etc landuses

[polarbearing]

This provides rendering for areas of amenity={police|prison} and landuse=religious, and closes

Prison was apparently implemented in xml and did not make it to carto. The others are new.

The design for police adopts the diagonal hatching style we have for military areas/barracks, just in a neutral grey that blends with residential landuse. Prison does vertical hatching, as in the original implementation. Both icons are powers of two and allow global alignment. Landuse religious darkens residential colour by 8% and is in saturation between this and a place_of_worship.

We have 1.6k uses of landuse=religious. That seems a bit small

Personally I like landuse=religious but there is ongoing discussion on @tagging.

Also, I think that wiki documentation should be improved - see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:landuse%3Dreligious

But over 1k uses is IMHO not a problem.

Closed for now awaiting the outcome of the discussion on tagging.

[polarbearing]

Should I separate the two amenities from the landuse? It was just practical since they affect the same SQL query.

[matthijsmelissen]

If you could do that, that would be great, yes. Let me know when you have made the update, so I can reopen the PR.

I thought I replied to this.
I don't like the hashing of the prison. Generally I dislike this type of hashing as the thin lines could look like some type of way and frankly look ugly.
I personally would prefer a solid colour.

For prison it works but I am unsure about police, currently it is used for rather inaccessible areas (prison would be the next one).

[polarbearing]

Well the discussion on @tagging was mostly in favour of landuse=religion and then drifting into the usual dispute that our tagging scheme has historic inconsistencies in general. The tag has been used for years and is gaining interest since it has recently been translated from Polish into English, German and Japanese.

As for police, I understand that people see it less restrictive than military (though often civil visitors, similarly, get into a reception area only). So if we go for a single colour, which should it be? Amenity-yellow, like hospitals and schools? (talking about amenities, nursing_home and social_facility are not rendered...). That would be a rather quick fix.

Prison has been split off into #772.

@mkoniecz - I have refined the wiki page according to your comments there, the discussion here and in @tagging; for the English and the German page. Are you able to do the Polish?

[matkoniecz]

@polarbearing I will reply on wiki, I have this page on watchlist so it should not be necessary to notify me through github.

I had the opposite impression: it was said by several people that the religion tag was an established possibility to tag religious affiliation and that there would be overlap with other landuses for the examples discussed (residential and sports grounds), and that amenity=place_of_worship can be mapped on sacred areas that extend the building.
