[Talk-us] Shield rendering and detours; tagging nicknames?

2013-07-13 Thread Paul Johnson
OK, wonder if we can get orange detour banners for routes as well?  Example
relations can be found in the downtown Tulsa area, which has an interstate
(244), two US routes (64, 75) and an Oklahoma state highway (51) detoured
through the end of next year.  Also, thanks to the serious overload on
route multiplexing, exacerbated by the construction, this would be a good
area to test route shield hell.  I've also finally gotten around to adding
relations for the LL Tisdale Parkway (
http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/ok/cool_j/) and the Gilcrease Expressway (
http://www.aaroads.com/shields/show.php?image=OK19720071) to test out city
route shields.

Also, what would be an appropriate tag for a completely informal name for
something that is getting uptake by way of traffic reports?  Tulsa's Inner
Dispersal Loop has been called the "Inner Detour Loop" by some reporters.

Nah, the best place to test route shield hell is in GA. :) hehe.

Still, I think detour routes might be a good idea, but only if somebody is 
willing to keep track of the projects and fix everything once the construction 
is finished.

I agree.  I've only been handling construction I know I can keep up with
myself.

If the rendering is really really orange and really ugly, it will help
drive updates post construction :-).
If you just make route relations without rendering, they are easy to forget.

It helps that these are actually signposted as black-on-orange "DETOUR"
bannered routes.  The severely multiplexed and complicated situation this
creates causes passengers in my car to giggle when the Garmin announces
that you should make a movement following the detour routes, since it'll
say things like "Exit left to..." then rattle off all the refs and detour
refs, then the highway name.  Even with speed limits reduced to 30-45 MPH
on the freeway, it still takes just long enough that it's time to announce
the next turn as soon as it finishes rattling off one.  But it's better
than watching folks who don't have OpenStreetMap on their GPS...since it
won't be aware that all traffic is being squeezed through on what is
normally the westbound 244/southbound 75 span.  Their nav trying to
reconcile driving the "wrong" way on the freeway is bound to cause navrage
with the folks who don't know about OSM on Garmin...

I'll see about adding stuff under US:I:Detour, US:US:Detour, and, I
guess, US:OK:Detour.

I'll add them to the list of routes needing shields.  What network are
you using for those?

Based on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names , I'd say loc_name=.

US:OK:Tulsa:Tulsa (going with the US:ST:County:City rule for these city
routes).
