[OSM-talk-be] Tagging of a large slab of concrete with many bus routes going over it
What follows are the reactions of 2 people on talk-be, regarding my question. I know Ivodeb is not happy with how I tried to solve the marriage between proper rendering of normal maps and maps of bus routes. We'd need a separate tag for indicating that these 'roads' are not actually there, but they are more like 'virtual pathways' of where the vehicles are likely to travel across such a wide road, devoid of lanes. Please let me know what you think. Ivodeb would also like to see two oneway streets between the platforms, but there too, there is only a wide slab of concrete. I could add them to the multipolygon, ofc, but that's completely breaking with how OSM used to map. Maybe it's the way to go, though. So three main possibilities: 1. map only what's really there. Result: ugly bus routes 2. do it halfbaked, like it's now. 3. go completely nuts with the virtual pathways and add the spaces between the platforms to the multipolygon as well. Result: really clear and smooth bus routes. Jo Hi, I'm working on the bus terminal of Leuven in Belgium. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.882181lon=4.714964zoom=18layers=M There is a triangular shaped slab of concrete with an island, the bus terminal is right next to it. I created many 'ways' that are not exactly there, but in order to create contiguous relations they are needed. My biggest beef with the rendering are all those little one way arrows. So I already took them away, but somebody else insists on putting them back... What I did with the multipolygon conveys what's actually there. All the virtual ways are paths across the concrete in order to get a nice picture when rendering the bus routes. It seems like a good compromise, but I'm at a loss about whether it's the right way to map the whole area. Thanks for your input.

(3 dagen geleden) The Mapnik rendering is not perfect, and one of its imperfections is its over-display of one-way arrows. That's a problem for the renderer to fix, I'm afraid. I think you always need ways, even if they are covered by an area, so your approach strikes me as just fine.

Who cares about that when you got seven pubs adjacent to each other! :-) DaveF. ___ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be

We'd need a separate tag for indicating that these 'roads' are not actually there, but they are more like 'virtual pathways' of where the vehicles are likely to travel across such a wide road, devoid of lanes. Whenever I encounter a virtual path for for example a cycle route or a walking route crossing a big pedestrian square, I draw an extra way, with just the tag route=bicycle or route=foot (no highway tags) which shows how you'd walk or drive over it, and I add that way to the relation.

Not sure if I understand this situation correctly, but if there is no division between the two directions, then it should be one way.

I don't think it says what you wanted it to say. Removing the highway tags may well be the solution I was looking for. Could you have a look at the actual link? It became a real 'work of art' :-) http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.882181lon=4.714964zoom=18layers=M Thanks, Jo ___ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be
