If you want a tile overlay, http://keepright.ipax.at/ has a check for
"dead-ended one-ways", among others.
If you want to check your .OSM file, SomeChecks (onewaycheck) is
listed in the Quality Assurance category of the wiki.

If you'd like to see an example, check out
http://keepright.ipax.at/report_map.php?zoom=17&lat=47.64362&lon=-122.29683&layers=B00T&ch=0%2C40&show_ign=1&show_tmpign=1
The Mapnik tiles at Z17 and Z18 still aren't updating for me, so it
might be easy to see what I "fixed" about 16 hours ago. If you enable
more checks, you'll see that I wasn't using it at the time. :)

what has been tending to be done is to build a super relation that 
bridges all the
states, so there would be a bunch of I-90 relations stopping at state 
lines and then
one superrelation that gathers it all up.

i haven't really been watching to see if that's being done very 
consistently.

It would be cool if it also checked that the all the ways making up a 
motorway are in their correct relations.

BTW, I see that there are usually "Some Freeway North" and "Some Freeway 
South" relations for each freeway, but not a dual_carriageway 
"super-relation" with those two relations as members. Is this recommended? 
If so, the bot could maybe create these as well if they don't exist.

Also mkgmap generates warning for oneways going nowhere or oneways 
coming from nowhere. Whne I generate maps I try to fix them.

I map every one way, dead end street I can find.

And as for finding and fixing wrong-way segemetns and other motorway
problems have a look at

[Talk-us] One-way Wrong-way

2010-05-03 Thread Val Kartchner
I was using the OSM maps on my Garmin just to test the routing.  With
the OSM data, it sometimes picks strange routes.

However, last Saturday it picked a really strange route suggesting a
dirt road next to the freeway instead of the freeway itself.  Today I
looked at the route, and Cloudmade made a similar strange routing
decision.  I found that one segment of the freeway was the wrong way.

I have fixed this segment.  I have also previously fixed on and off
ramps that were the wrong way.  Would someone write a 'bot that would go
through the database and see if there are segments that have similar
problems?  These should be flagged and put on some list for manual
checking.  Actually any one-way streets that make no sense should be
flagged.  (Things like a one-way dead-end street.)

Thanks,
