The mapping conventions for Lutang.
Addressing
Lutang's city and municipal governments use a variety of addressing and house numbering systems. But there are always exceptions. The addressing systems of Lutang can be bluntly described as a hot mess of complicated systems with exceptions that the Lutang postal worker must memorize to work with the Lutang Post.
Format
The format is:
- [N] Street, [Quarter/Village], [City], [Province], Lutang
For Bagong Bandila, it is common practice not to write "Greater Bandila Area". But for other towns near BB, writing it is common.
Examples
- This Verona Coffee location in Limingan is located at: 50 Archanta Street, Limingan, Bagong Bandila, Lutang
House numbering
The city governments of Lutang just can't agree on how to number buildings. However, there are many patterns and behaviors that almost everyone has agreed on.
- Buildings get the address of the street where their main entrance is.
- If a building has multiple entrances of equal prominence, higher road classifications always win.
- Compounds of buildings share one house number. Separator determined by
lem:compound_separator
Each building in the compound gets another number, like 69A (letter
), 69-1(dash
), or 69.1 (period
).
Systems
- Sided evenness: One side gets odd numbers and the others have even numbers.
- N-center

BoundariesLutang's administrative division system is closely modelled after that of the real Philippines. OSM Philippines admin_level= conventions thus apply to Lutang. Always use relations to define these boundaries.
NamesLanguageUrban areas, such as Bagong Bandila, are mapped in English, while rural areas are mapped in Tagalog. Use Example for Bagong Bandila:

TransportRoadsTypesSecondaries link smaller towns and villages and are used as main streets in large cities, while tertiaries are used for the main roads of gated communities. Finally, there is residential; which is for access to residential buildings. Unclassified roads render the same as residentials, but are used when there is no residence along a street. NumberingLutang's expressways (motorways) are numbered EN. These numbers are incremented and are thus in order of expressway construction. National roads that are not expressways begin with NN. North-south roads use even numbers while west-east ones use odd numbers. Roads that go both directions, or ring roads like Bagong Bandila's N69, can use either an odd or even number. Roads may have additional province-specific designations (AA N with a space!) in addition to their National N number. If an E or N road passes through a province, its number under the province-specific designations may not be used for other roads except itself. The N8 runs through Kendeng and thus has the provincial ref KD 8.
SpacingWhen roads are represented by two parallel ways; a certain amount of spacing is expected. Lutang design standards require each motorway lane to be 4 meters wide. The median is usually 3 meters, so your 2-lane motorway will have 20 meters between both ways.
TrainsLutang's railway network uses 1435mm standard gauge. The distance between the platform edge and track centerline should be at least 1.8m, for loading gauge. Lutang Lines, the passenger railroad company has electrified most of its network. The four freight companies of Lutang are:
All four run their own private lines; but the GSR and SAR sometimes run on LL lines where LL trains are prioritized. LL services on Batis & Huntsman run on BIR & HR tracks respectively; where freight has priority. Outside of the Lutang Lines network; tracks are mostly unelectrified. LL's electrification is 25kv 60hz overhead line. Line namingIn order of precedence, name rail lines as:
TaggingLutang Lines tracks: railway=rail gauge=1435 voltage=25000 electrified=contact_line frequency=60 operator=Lutang Lines railway:traffic_mode=passenger BusesBus stations should be named after the place they primarily serve. Prefixes are also added. Write them out in full, no abbreviations.
This website has information on the Singapore bus system; which is a major source of inspiration for the Bagong Bandila bus network. Bus companiesLutang has its fair share of provincial bus companies too, just like the Philippines. However, these companies very rarely run routes from Bagong Bandila to random places in the countryside, focusing more on supplementing the railway network.
