Experience with different routing solutions show that THEY have a first
shot heuristic to find those short snippets. Most others dont.

In the end its a heuristic - And as he says - commercial data providers
do tag those snippets as such - why dont we? A heuristic always breaks
on some occasions and we have no solutions.

From a legal perspective they are not something different ;) Motorway
might be something special - But tertiary_link, primary_link,
secondary_link are not special.

In the dark ages of OSM somebody overloaded the highway type with
attribution.

Re: [Tagging] Concrete kerbs in highway

2015-06-25 Thread Clifford Snow
Going with the theme of lazy wins out, having to convert a way into a dual
carriageway is a pain. That is why using the tag kerb=center would 1) tell
routing engines that left turns are not permitted and 2) possibly render
more accurately. Dual carriageways renders [1] as if there is median when
in fact it is only a kerb. This process could be expanded to include Jersey
barriers.

An alternative could be barrier=center/left/right,
barrier=kerb/Jersey_barrier

but this would only work on a road with no crossings (or all crossing on
both roads at the same spot)...

the issue, i think is that frequently there are highways that have raised
concrete barriers, but with frequent gaps. you end up needing to model
this one way or another. there is not really an easy way out.

True. Center kerbs are often for short distances to prevent left turns. The
connecting streets could just be tagged with a no left turn.

There doesn't seem to be interest in creating a tag kerb=center so one of
the alternative will have to be the default. When I get some free time I'll
try to add something to the wiki to help other mappers with center kerbs
and barriers.

Although it goes against the OSM model, all roads above tertiary in Japan 
follow their legal designation rather than actual conditions to conform to 
historical mapping traditions in Japan  

There are a few primary and secondary roads in every area that could be labeled 
unclassified if it weren't for their governmental shield designation (its a 
really old road, and sections are narrow  or impassible to trucks, but it is a 
"national" route, therefore "primary" - while the bypass route is 3 times 
bigger but has no designation, so it is a "tertiary road")
