Select the node where both roads are joined. Press 'g' to unglue (or Unglue Ways on the menu) You'll have two nodes in the same spot. Click and drag the node to the right, so the road on the south is aligned properly. (Unfortunately, sometimes you'll get the wrong node. If so, then move it south a bit, then move the correct node to the right. Move the east-west node back where it belongs. Click back on the north-south node to select it). Now the road on the north is misaligned. Split that way using 'p' (or Split Way on the menu). Again, unglue the node from the north and south ways using 'g'. Move the end of the north way back where it belongs. Select both nodes (they should be right on top of each other) by drawing a box around them both. Join them together using 'm' (or Merge Nodes on the menu). If you have any trouble with this procedure, just ask and I'll do a video tutorial on it. -- Andy PGP Key ID: 0xDC1B5864 ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Fixing Alignments in JOSM
However in reality it is a staggered junction. So I need to split the North-South way into two pieces and it intersects the East-West way in two places. Depending on how far off the stagger is, you also may want to consider not splitting it, but just aligning the streets with two extra nodes. I've come across this where the stagger is small, and feels like it can still be considered one intersection. Here's an example of several intersections like that within a few blocks of each other: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.56144lon=-122.65675zoom=17layers=0B00FTF Your taste may vary; it's just an alternative suggestion. - Alan ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] Fixing Alignments in JOSM
I'm not sure if I can clearly explain my problem, but I'll try. The tiger street alignments are a mess in my area and I'm trying to fix them. I will come across a situation where there is a North-South way that crosses an East-West way. Thet are joined with a common node. However in reality it is a staggered junction. So I need to split the North-South way into two pieces and it intersects the East-West way in two places. I cannot figure out how to do this in JOSM. I've tried everything - splitting a way at nodes, ungluing, etc. The way always remains joined. Can someone please give me a step by step guide to fixing this alignment problem? I hope I explained it clearly enough. Thanks, Andy -- Andy PGP Key ID: 0xDC1B5864 ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Can someone please give me a step by step guide to fixing this alignment problem? Sounds like a fun intersection. :) Could you give us some coordinates for it? I'll go take a look and see if I can explain what best to do. -- Dave ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Fixing Alignments in JOSM
not sure if I understand correct. by staggered do you mean they are on different levels via bridges or underpass? then there is no need to split. instead 1) unglue the node, you will have 2 nodes at exact same location. one belongs to way one the other to way 2 2) if need to move: both are selected after unglue and will move together. you need to select one only. otherwise a move seems like they are still joined. 3) split ways and add tunnel,bridge,layer tags as needed. in general split, unglue works like this split can be done on any node of a way except start/end unglue can be done on any node shared by 2 ways.

Dave, That worked. Perfect! Thanks, Andy Dave Hansen wrote: On Tue, 2009-06-23 at 12:35 -0700, Andrew Ayre wrote: They are on the same level. The north-south alignment of the street was changed at an intersection. Here is a screen shot: http://files.britishideas.com/public/mapping/staggered.jpg I'd probably: 1. Take Sahuara's way and make a new node near its intersection with 5th 2. Split the way at both the new node and the existing 5th and Sahuara node, making 3 ways. 3. Delete the short way that connects the south Sahuara with 5th 4. Take the now dangling Sahuara and drag its end node over to the proper place on 5th and join the Sahuara end node with 5th. You'll end up with 2 ways where there used to be one, but that's OK. Is that what you were asking? -- Dave -- Andy PGP Key ID: 0xDC1B5864 ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
