Ngày 2012-04-11 4:23 PM, Phil! Gold viết: * Minh Nguyen [2012-04-04 11:54 -0700]: More requests: in addition to its circular-shield state highway system, Kentucky also has an ad-hoc "parkway" network. At least some of them are tagged `network=US:KY:Parkway` with a shield URL in `symbol`. Since I've now got shields rendering larger at higher zoom levels, I made some shields for the Kentucky Parkways. They are indeed pretty unreadable until you get to about z17, but at that point you can mostly make out what they are (or you can also just read the name on the road...). At least there's something on the motorways so they don't just look naked. Even if the parkway shields are mostly illegible, they're still quite an improvement over Google Maps (which uses the parkways' unsigned 900x route numbers) and Bing and MapQuest (nothing other than the road name at higher zoom levels). Thanks for your attention to detail! We're putting the shield images in the public domain (well, we're putting them under a CC0 waiver, which amounts to the same thing semantically), so I don't think the "Kentucky Unbridled" image would be compatible with that. I just went with an italic font. (It's not like you can tell at these resolutions, anyway.) One way to simplify them would be to use the routes' two-letter abbreviations. NE2 suggested this for New York's parkways, too. I want to see how the current shields are received now that you can zoom in and see more detail on them, but using the routes' initials is certainly a possibility if no one likes their current incarnation. On second thought, some of the Kentucky parkways' abbreviations require a little guessing anyways, so maybe the spelled-out images are good enough. Someone who tries to navigate based on this map will say "that blue and white sign with tiny text", which is exactly how they'll see it on guide signs. Adding to the mess, the AA Highway is a special case that I *think* belongs in `network=US:KY` as `ref=AA`. I've added that, too. The network=US:KY, ref=AA relation does not appear to include all of the ways with the name "AA Highway" (it looks like the relation ends somewhere around KY 2828). I'll get right to it. By the way, four-digit circle shields appear to have broken over the last day or two: http://elrond.aperiodic.net/mtiles/cutouts/12/1081/1569.png -- Minh Nguyen AIM: trycom2000; Jabber: m...@1ec5.org; Blog: http://notes.1ec5.org/ ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] importing bus stops
Hey guys sorry I haven't been paying more attention to this of late, but I wanted to help as I did do a rather large bus import in the Massachusetts area that seemed go off fine (nobody complained to me at least). First I would recommend looking at the Google transit feed files for the UTA rather then the state gis layer. If Utah gis is anything like massgis then the their official gis layer is just based on an out of date gtfs, you can grab the most up to date uta gtfs here http://www.gtfs-data-exchange.com/agency/utah-transit-authority/latest.zip and it's from 4/6/12. The main advantage of this was that it gave ref tags that could theoretically be hooked in to the real time transport data. If your interested I can give you slightly more details about how I did that import. -- Calvin Metcalf Massachusetts Department of Transportation Office of Transportation Planning 617.973.7027 >-Original Message- >From: Paul Norman [mailto:penor...@mac.com] >Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2012 12:52 AM >To: 'Martijn van Exel'; 'OpenStreetMap US Talk' >Subject: Re: [Talk-us] importing bus stops > >> From: Martijn van Exel [mailto:mve...@gmail.com] >> Subject: [Talk-us] importing bus stops >> >> Hi, >> >> Anyone here with experience importing bus stops?

Re: [Talk-us] Highway Shield Rendering
You need to create shields up to at least in the 6000 range for Kentucky. The reason I'm saying this is that the have a 6000 series for small service roads. 99% of the them they aren't posted, but there are a few that I discovered while working on overhauling my Kentucky files for the CHM project (my personal KY page here - http://cmap.m-plex.com/stat/region.php?u=rickmastfan67&c=usa&rg=ky&du=mi&sort=ra). I can't seem to find my list that I compiled that listed all of the posted 6000 series routes right now, but I do know that at least KY-6011 is posted (Streetview - http://g.co/maps/23mpe). So, on the safe side for the KY routes, I would create shields up to at least 6299 so that when people get around to properly tagging the 6000 series, they will be rendered when necessary. -- James > Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 08:29:22 -0400 > From: phi...@pobox.com > To: talk-us@openstreetmap.org > Subject: Re: [Talk-us] Highway Shield Rendering > > * Minh Nguyen [2012-04-12 00:09 -0700]: > > Thanks for your attention to detail! > > You're welcome. :) > > > By the way, four-digit circle shields appear to have broken over the > > last day or two. > > Indeed they were.

That's what I wasn't clear about above. Though Wikipedia's articles and the actual ground truth seems to show that what is signed as US 75A is actually OK 75A, since it seems Oklahoma considers US bannered/lettered routes as state highways and may not consistently sign it wholly as a state or US highway. Another highway with confusing inconsistencies would be US 412. Parts of it include: - Cherokee Turnpike (signed as Cherokee Turnpike, not signed as US412). - US 412 Scenic (old US 412, a loop bypassing the Cherokee Turnpike, the "last free exit" in both directions where the turnpike starts; signed as US 412S or US 412 Scenic). - OK 412A (not sure of signage, but is definitely related to US 412; may actually be US 412 Alternate) - OK 412B (not sure of signage, but is definitely related to US 412; may actually be US 412 Business) - OK 412P (signed as OK 412P, definitely a spur of US 412 at the Arkansas River Navigation System; may actually be US 412 Port) Arkansas seems to have similar quirks to Oklahoma on US highways between the Cherokee border and Bentonville; not sure if this is regionalistic signage issues or if the business/alternate/port/scenic roads are really state highways as a result. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Oregon has a few "Detour I-5" routes on smaller (often two-lane county roads) roads where all lanes get sent the same direction when some dork talking on their cellphone while driving gets creamed on the motorway route that are posted (and often have some normally gated routes that round off what would normally be a four-way stop). ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Re: [Talk-us] Highway Shield Rendering
I couldn't find any Kentucky State Routes that are in the 4000's and 5000's. So, you should be able to get away with just doing the 6000-series shields. As far as I can tell, currently, they only go up to KY-6334 (per http://bunkerblast.info/roads/sric.html). Now, not all of these 6000-series highways are posted, so, I would just create shields in the range of 6000-6500.

I don't know who's doing that work in Columbia on the Interstates, but they are doing it wrong unfortunately. While the ways aren't "tainted" anymore, all of the nodes are still. Meaning that once the bot gets unleashed, the highways will still get "fucked-up". It seems that they are just starting a new way and connecting each old node to the new way without at least moving the old node, which means if Lar created the node and nobody has moved it since, it still will get deleted and mess up the highway alignment. -- James ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
