Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Chicago's pedways
When I draw footways, I like to connect them to the first crosswalk. That way a router can route people through a street if there are no drawn footways, and then cross to a footway at the crosswalk. 2012/9/27 David Turner nova...@novalis.org Chicago's pedway system on OSM is a bit wrong -- it's mostly disconnected from the rest of the map (check out KeepRight for a bunch of orange lightning bolts). This can cause problems for routers. Apparently, Toronto's system has the same issue. (I should also note that Chicago doesn't have hour_on and hour_off, but that's a different issue). I would like to just connect the pedways to the streets that they intersect, but that's not physically accurate; in fact, they're through buildings (and often down stairs or elevators). Can anyone suggest a better way to map them so that they're accurate yet routable? I'm not local to Chicago, so it would be tough for me to go out and directly investigate myself. But I've CC'd a colleague who does live in Chicago and whom I might be able to pester to help out when he gets the free time. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Chicago's pedways
I found similar issues with the cycleway network here in Telford. It had been drawn in total isolation to the rest of the map, no joins where it crossed roads or footways. I have fixed it now.

I'd draw an approximation of the stairs inside the buildings connecting one end of the stair to the pedway and extending the other end with a footway connecting to a sidewalk/highway. Perhaps also adding some building=entrance nodes where the connecting footway (not the pedway) intersects building polys.
