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 Greater Bandila Area uses the European scheme, explained by the above diagram.

Buildings with multiple businesses get multiple addresses, and the street they are assigned is based on where their entrance is when they received their address. The aforementioned Verona Coffee location has its main entrance down Archanta Street, not Panibago Street. Businesses with entrances on multiple streets get assigned the address of the most prominent or main entrance.

Boundaries

Lutang'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.

	admin_level=
Country	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11
Lutang	N/A	National border	Regions	Provinces	Sangguniang Panlalawigan districts (if any)	Cities and Municipalities/Towns	Sangguniang Panlungsod/Bayan districts (if any)	Other administrative districts (if any)	Zones (if any)	Barangays	Sitios/Puroks (only if boundaries are defined)
Examples		Lutang (AR004)∈⊾		Peninsulang Ines∈⊾		Payagin∈⊾ Bagong Bandila∈⊾ Araminta∈⊾		Araminta Port Sector∈⊾		Hallauer∈⊾

• Use relations for tagging administrative boundaries. If they are only tagged on ways they will not be processed by data users.

Transport

Roads

Types

Secondaries 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.

Numbering

Lutang'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. The most important roads are N1 to 30. 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) in addition to their National N number.

Spacing

When roads are represented by two parallel ways; a certain amount of spacing is expected.

highway	min distance, meters
motorway	32
trunk	20
primary	18
secondary	16
tertiary	16
residential	14
unclassified	14

Trains

Lutang'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:

• Batis Island Railroad (BIR), serving Batis Island
• Huntsman Rail (HR), serving Huntsman Island
• Gahak & Siritangan Railway (GSR), serving the northern portion of Main Island
• Solidago & Araminta Railway (SAR), serving the southern portion of Main Island

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 naming

In order of precedence, name rail lines as:

• Operator
• [OPERATOR] Name of line (e.g. Caluya Line or Bagong Bandila Subdivision)=
  • Use abbreviations in the name tag and use the full operator's name in the operator tag.

Tagging

Lutang Lines tracks:

railway=rail
gauge=1435
voltage=25000
electrified=contact_line
frequency=60
operator=Lutang Lines
railway:traffic_mode=passenger

Buses

Bus stations should be named after the place they primarily serve. Prefixes are also added. Write them out in full, no abbreviations.

• Opposite, or Opp. for the other side of the road. The Lutang Mapping Authority has a bus station outside it; and across the road is a station named "Opposite Lutang Mapping Authority".

This website has information on the Singapore bus system; which is a major source of inspiration for the Bagong Bandila bus network.

Relations

Naming

• Transport route relations should be formatted as: "LINE_NAME - START --> END".
• Route relations should be named as "<ref> <start> --> <end>".
  • Adding "(<A>)" at the end where A is a province, city, or completely arbitrary division is OK if routes must be expressed by more than 1 relation due to node count or other considerations.

Route master

Network relations should not be used. Rather, simply use network tags on routes & route masters.

• Lutang Expressways for the expressways which start with E
• Lutang Trunks for the trunks that start with N
