Re: [Talk-GB] How to add roundabouts?

[Chris Andrew]

I've found the "add a new tag" button, and typed Junction and
Roundabout.  looking good.

Let's hope the traffic flow is the correct direction.

Cheers,

Chris.

Re: [Talk-GB] How to add roundabouts?

[Chris Andrew]

Thanks, all.  Finding how to apply the tag is my problem.  I'll have a
look at the URL given, but as I say, I just can't find a _roundabout_
drop-down item.  I'll look again.

Cheers,

Chris.

This wiki page should help:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Droundabout

It's not too long, and should tell you everything you need to know.
Ask here if it's still not clear.

Standard procedure is to draw the roadway as usual, but tag with with
junction=roundabout. (This implies oneway=yes, but you may want to add
it also). The roundabout should be drawn in the direction that traffic
shows (see the roundabout button in the bottom left of the flash
editor, or the way directions in josm).
The highway tag should take the highest value of road joining it, for
example trunk beats primary beats secondary etc..

A fairly complex example is visible at

[Talk-GB] How to add roundabouts?

[Chris Andrew]

Hi, all.

New to the list.  Just wondering, some roads near me have big
roundabouts that aren't mapped, they are just seen as converging
roads.  I see that a tag exists to mark roundabouts (OSM Wiki), but I
can't see how to apply it using the standard editing tool.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Chris.

[Talk-GB] DECC Oil Wells Imported

[Kærast]

Hi,

Yesterday I got confirmation that the DECC shapefiles [1] are public
domain and can be used by us.  The import of the oil wells was a fairly
simple job since there are no oil wells on the map already and the
shapefiles are fairly simple to parse.

There is no official tag for oil well, however the Canada import are
planning on using man_made=petroleum_well and so that is what I have
used.  There are 11,015 apparently disused oil wells and 500 apparently
active oil wells, all of which have been imported with ref_no=* name=*
(where available) disused=yes (where no longer active) and
source=DECC.  I say 'apparently' because the DECC stress they "accepts
no responsibility for loss, damage or inconvenience caused by errors or
omissions."

I guess the next stages are to propose the tag man_made=petroleum_well,
get these appearing on the map and then consider whether any of the
other shapefiles they have are useful to us.
