Does this mean that the number of named
For places where the bridge lines have not yet been fully identified and the railways have not yet been fully double-tracked, mapping the bridge area is indeed a labor-intensive micro-mapping. This is again difficult to accomplish for places where up-to-date imagery is not yet available. |

These tagging styles aren’t mutually exclusive, are they? I’ve often tagged both since the redundancy didn’t seem to be that harmful. For what it’s worth, #215 would also mitigate some of the tendency to overload |

I would say, that even though the mapping of bridges as separate objects can be considered the "state of the art" mapping technique, the bridge:name
tag is still used often enough to warrant to be represented in the tagging schema (at the very least to make it easy to move the name to it's own feature when newly drawing a bridge's polygon).
@SteveLz what's missing in this PR is the inclusion of the new fields in the respective (road and railway ) presets. I would prefer to include bridge:name
only as an optional ("moreFields"
) field, while tunnel:name
might make sense to be included in the list of regular fields.
`tunnel` is much more common for waterways: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/waterway#combinations

Wiki:
bridge:name taginfo
tunnel:name taginfo
These fields are used to record the names of bridges and tunnels on highways, railways, and waterways. Many mappers write the names of bridges and tunnels on the road names because they do not see these field.
