I noticed another odd bit: many streets with dividers are in the db as two parallel one-way roads, resulting in oddities such as this one: http://osm.org/go/yy4Z9FN84-- I found this earlier discussion: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/newbies/2009-August/003447.html What does the list think as the appropriate way to tag divided roads? Parallel ways work for traffic routing algorithms, but are so much more work, and don't offer a clean solution for gaps in the divider. ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in

His book is very good, and provided one of the core quotes I use to advocate Map Kibera. -Mikel ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in
