Signs

The official Delaware standard sign set appears in the April 2009 publication "Standard Signs". For signs which are not rendered as icons (highway=stop might be the only one rendered at present), recommend using traffic_sign=* and traffic_sign_ref=*; the value for 'traffic_sign_ref' would be drawn from the standard sign set publication. For examples, see node 618492134 and node 618492182.

DelDOT Maintenance Numbers

Maintenance road numbers used by DelDOT are being converted to ref:deldot=*. Given their small size where they appear, not readily noticeable by drivers, so they should be removed from the standard ref=* tag. Small markers with these numbers appear on poles with other signage. Many secondary names imported from TIGER contain "Road XXX" or "County Road XXX", and appeared in different formats, such as ref=Road XXX. ref=RD XXX, ref=Rd XXX, etc.

Reference numbers overlay signed routes and do not always match the currently signed number. For example in Sussex County, DE 1 along the shoreline uses reference road number 14, its former route number. US 13 uses reference numbers 1-4 for different segments; reference number 13 remains on the old alignment of US 13.

Names

Significant progress has been made through the end of 2012 to decrease the roadways which lack a name. Delaware stands out visually against surrounding states on the NoName map maintained by user:SimonPoole.

Public Protected Lands

Tagging

For all state owned public lands in Delaware, the following tags may be used: 

  boundary=protected_area
  leisure=nature_reserve
  name=*
  ownership=state
  protected=perpetuity
  type=multipolygon (only if a relation)

In addition, the following tags can be present if applicable: 

  website=*
  wikidata=*
  wikipedia=*
  gnis:feature_id=*

Discouraged Tagging

Absolutely NO LANDUSE should be associated with public lands. While it may appear that a State Forest is mostly wooded and it would be appropriate to add a natural=wood tag, this is usually a gross oversimplification. It is preferable to add landuse features as separate polygons.

In addition, the following tags are discouraged. If you see these, verify that they can be replaced with something else: 

  leisure=park, this tag may be acceptable for small, manicured state parks. If this is the case, use this tag in place of leisure=nature_reserve.
  boundary=national_park, this tag should be reserved for de jure national parks.
  park:type=*, deprecated, use protection_title=* instead.
  boundary:type=*, deprecated, use protection_title=* instead.
