Re: [Talk-us] Proposed automated motorway_link mass edit
Would it be possible to FLAG the 2k orphan / singleend motorway_links with an unreview tag? regarding exceptions that prove the rule On Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 11:58 AM, Dave Hansend...@sr71.net wrote: Yeah, you definitely have to be careful. It's OK for a motorway to touch: 1. another motorway 2. a motorway_link 3. a non-mototorway, but only at its *END* node. Not at its beginning node 4. service roads. Our friendly police officers love to use these little spurs to hide for speed traps in Oregon. :) Here's where I-72 ends, for instance. A couple of places where I wish we could fix the actual highway - we have a streetlight between in interstate toll booth exit ramp (Mass Pike I-90) and start of a free interstate bypass/spur misnamed(?) I-291 that must have an exemption or two from federal rules - http://osm.org/go/ZeV9lxiN- (i suggest misnamed since I-2xx are supposed to be bypasses with both ends on parent I-xx, so unless there are abandoned plans to continue it north to I-91 it should be a I-1/3/5xx Spur) They had to use the strobe red on the traffic light at the turn, since sensible drivers know there's no traffic light after toll going from one interstate to another right? then there's this piece of work in Newburgh NY - http://osm.org/go/Zc8iNVj6- where several stoplights and a shopping plaza are substituting for a motorway_link ramp. -- Bill n1...@arrl.net bill.n1...@gmail.com ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] TIGER corrections: tagging for source of corrected data?
Is there any talk of/conventions/tags for identifying the source of data used to correct TIGER errors? For example, my own GPS track/survey, somebody else's GPS track, USGS Urban Area, DLG, etc? ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] TIGER corrections: tagging for source of corrected data?
I remove the tiger:reviewed tag, insert (or append to) a source
tag
with values:
yahoo_imagry [sic] (mis-spelled for consistency with current usage);
usgs_imagery;
image (for my own picture);
survey (I drove the area);
local_knowledge (from my own recollection);
local_government (local city/county/state maps or GIS system)
tiger_2008 (I manually consulted TIGER 2008)
If you structure the edits it maybe better to add this instead in the
changeset comment.
tags can be changed but changesets are readonly.
personally I don't add this except for imports. simply because it's
lot of additional work and there is so much to fix for tiger
.
I then populate source_ref or source_url with an appropriate value,
like my own photo # or URL of the site or map I consulted
(out-of-copyright sources only, of course).
BTW, can someone confirm that I'm doing the right thing by
separating multiple values for a tag with a semicolon (';'),
like survey;image;yahoo_imagry;local_government ?
yes, this is common and documented.
BTW2, in getting a list of my values, I noticed that, while
imported TIGER ways contain:
tag k='tiger:source' v='tiger_import_dch_v0.6_20070809' /,
nodes instead contain:
tag k='source' v='tiger_import_dch_v0.6_20070809' /
('source', not 'tiger:source').
