The intent of the destination tag appears to be allowing routers to say 
"follow the signs to ".

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:destination says:

So it should be what the road signs say, if the road signs say take this
exit for XXX Suburb then destination=XXX so the router can announce what
the road sign they are looking at says. If the road signs say exit for YYY
Street, then destination=YYY. Destination could be other things too, eg.
Airport Arrivals/Departures.

I think the important thing is to map what's on the ground, ie. what the
signs say.

Re: [talk-au] Am I doing intersections right?

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Would it depend on the router & how it gives the name? (Voice nav is turned
off on mine, so I don't  know!)

Will it tell you, "Turn left into Whatever St" or will it be "Turn left
towards Whichever suburb"


Thanks

Re: [talk-au] Am I doing intersections right?

[Joel H.]

I guess now my question is, do we need better definitions of the usage
of the destination tag?

I saw back on that North Lakes intersection linked before
(https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-27.24180/153.02459). That we had
the destination= tag filled with the Suburb. Shouldn't this be the road
name? Should we go by what is sign posted? Even then, on the Motorway it
isn't rare to see both a road name and locality signposted.

Perhaps we should talk to the wider community about a tagging arrangement?

A solution that I saw on the North Lakes intersection was to have
destination:street=.

Should we at least improve the wiki a little bit?

Re: [talk-au] Am I doing intersections right?

[osm.talk-au]

Please don't break my placement tags. (I've restored them.) They were there on 
purpose, and they are not what causes OSRM to generate that "Turn left onto 
unnamed road" instruction. 

Also, please don't delete my transit relations, these things take a lot of work 
to properly setup without explicit editor support.

In case you are wondering what these tags are for, they are part of detailed 
lane tagging as you can see here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ednlniwp6bcl5wk/1521024394681.jpg?dl=0

The placement=transition tag is necessary to indicate that this particular 
segment is not actually where it is in the real world, but is necessary because 
of the discrepancy between mapping roads as lines and roads having a width an 
multiple lanes in the real world.

The transit relation is necessary to define which of the lanes from one way 
segment connect to which of the lanes in the next way segment. In this case it 
indicates that the leftmost turn lane flows straight into that slip road.


The other 3 slip roads at this intersection have the same tags, and they do not 
result in OSRM producing such a driving instruction. If there were any obvious 
tagging mistakes, I would have fixed them already.


Cheers,
Thorsten

Ok it seems the OSM website will not centre you on an area from a link but 
takes you back to the last area you looked at.

Now ... I have removed 2 tags from the slip lane sections.

For some reason it wont show me the location of the pins when I go to that link.

I had looked at that area once before and noticed some odd stuff in josm but 
left it alone.

I've gone back in with josm and made some changes, if the routing starts

I agree, if there if is not named via a sign or otherwise on the ground
then I would leave the name field on the link road empty. Routers should be
able to work out the best instructions to give without a name on the link
via the network already.

This is in line with the wiki at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_link#Tagging

Link roads normally do not have names. Please use the destination=* and its

It looks like these are "At-grade intersections"
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_link#At-grade_intersections
says "Here too it probably makes more sense to consider the links as
"belonging" to the more major highway." so I've always been giving link
roads the classification of higher class road they are connected with, ie.
in your example all 4 would be trunk_link.

Hi,

You might be mapping for the renderer. :)

I have been not giving slip roads a name and making sure they are 
highway=secondary_link, trunk_link etc, which is considered valid by Keep 
Right, Geofabrik etc. It also makes sense on the ground as there is no physical 
sign on the slip road to give its name, it has none.

This then works correctly when using mkgmap and putting the data on a Garmin 
GPS.

[talk-au] Am I doing intersections right?

[Joel H.]

I wouldn't call myself new exactly, but since most roads were down since
the time I joined somethings are hazy.

I have recently added and changed some details related to intersections
(mostly adding slip roads and traffic lights).

What I'm mostly interested about are slip (turn left anytime with care)
roads. I have made the decision for slip roads to inherit both the name
and the road type (with the addition of making it a linking road) from
its destination.

You can see examples here:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-27.82146/153.02973

And here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-27.50755/152.94778

I don't think direction routing is a good source to go off. But when I
do it my way OSRM will say "Turn left onto the sliproad towards *Mount
Lindesay Highway" *I feel that this is correct.
