[Talk-ca] Route relations

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi all,


(resending from the correct email address, apologies)


Thanks for all the responses to my previous thread. I am partly still 
processing the input but another topic came up while we were investigating 
route relations. I can’t seem to find a wiki page on route relations in Canada, 
or even per province. The exception is Ontario 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada:Ontario#Route_relations
). Am I not looking hard enough? Would a ‘relation pages’ for Canada perhaps 
make sense?


The main reason I am asking is that I want to encourage our Telenav map 
analysts to help improve route relation coverage for Canada. We have been 
looking at the relation coverage and it seems to vary a lot by province. 
Perhaps a Canadian instance of Relation Pages would help? (See the US version 
here: http://184.73.220.107/relationpages/ - although this has not been 
updating correctly for a while)


Martijn

(sorry wrong from: address again..)




In the US, we use a hierarchy of network classifications instead. For instance, 
Interstate 80 would be network=US:I, ref=80, role=east/west depending on if 
it’s an eastbound / westbound carriageway. This is a really neat and tidy way 
of organizing route relations. Has this been common practice in Canada as well 
or something to consider?




Example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/280678 for I-80 in Utah

 Several users (OntarioEditor and osm_validation_and_improvements)
 created a whole bunch of relations for Ontario highways and county
 roads, but also added prefixes to roads (ON prefix to provincial
 highways and various prefixes like RR and CR to regional/county roads)
 which many OSM users were unhappy with and which I have been gradually
 reverting. I want to keep the relations though.
