[OSM-talk] Clarifying and representing road markings at junctions

2009-09-29 Thread Matt Williams
I've been noticing recently a problem we're going to/already have in our data when it comes to routing directions particularly. It concerns how to define continuations of roads at junctions and/or the road markings that delineate that. This problem manifests itself in many ways but for a first exam

You could record it as a type of turn-restriction relation, but I have a prejudice against those, having copied them down a bus route for quite a way until I realised I'd picked up a stray. That (of course) may be a problem with the editor I'm using, but keeping it simple is always a good maxim. S

Picking up Ray's point that observing the back of the giveway sign is a rather indirect way of saying "follow the road round to the right", the simplest/clearest is probably a relation on the through route linking the ways before/after the junction, saying "this is the priority route through the ju
