Re: [talk-au] highway=motorway_junction

In that particular example I don't think it's needed, since it's only an entrance to the motorway (not an exit) and South Street probably doesn't need these junction tags. The tag is useful when exits are named or numbered to say there is a motorway exit at this point which such and such name and

Re: [talk-au] highway=motorway_junction

sorry, yes – it’s lacram_telenav. The changeset that caught my eye is 67193952 I just don’t understand what they’re trying to achieve. There are gazillions of such intersections to be done if they head down this path. I see that it is a member of a relation called destination_sign (32

Re: [talk-au] highway=motorway_junction

I don't really see the point of motorway_junction unless that exit has a name or number (ref), however it's still valid per the wiki as on nodes at which you can exit the highway, I think to avoid putting it on absolutely every intersection we should reserve it's use for highway=motorway or trunk/p

Re: [talk-au] highway=motorway_junction

Hi. It seems pretty clear (to me at least) on the highway=motorway_junction page that the junction node should not indicate the destination, but rather on the way branching off. The examples show this situation.  - Ben. On 24/2/20 13:09, Ian Steer wrote: What do people think about this tag

[talk-au] highway=motorway_junction

lacrom_telenav has been adding highway=motorway_junction tags on exits from major roads around Perth - I think to designate destination signs. It is associated with "noref=yes" The wiki says: Use the highway=motorway_junction tag to identi

Re: [talk-au] Remote mapping of wetlands without local knowledge base on imagery

I suspect this might be a mapping competence problem or possibly a problem with the editing tool rather than intent to add incorrect information. It appears to me that the intent might have been to map the area as a wood but it has been mapped also as swamp (from the nearby relation). I once

Re: [talk-au] TfNSW Cycleways use in OSM

Some councils put up signs (often blue and white) indicating a cycle route. It generally shows the destination, maybe how far to the destination, and generally a picture of a bicycle. The sign might point to a road or a path. This is the best link I could find (sorry - big PDF, but it gives y

Re: [talk-au] TfNSW Cycleways use in OSM

Yes from what I observed, these appear to be signposted cycle routes. On Mon, 24 Feb 2020 at 09:34, Ben Kelley wrote: > Don't forget the blue and white signs! > > Practically I'd map a lcn=yes tag (or relation) for blue & white signs. > > > - Ben. > > On 24/2/20 02:59, Mateusz Konieczny via Ta

Hi, There has been some remote mapping of the Diamond Beach area based on imagery and descriptive texts. Note the descriptive texts are copyright. My contention is that without going there or a correctly licensed source these things cannot be mapped with any certainty, particularly without

Re: [talk-au] TfNSW Cycleways use in OSM

Is it possible that they are listing  roads with minor traffic, connecting parts of real bicycle infrastructure? In my city (Kraków, Poland) municipality was doing someting like that. Partially it was reasonable, partially desperate attempt to hide traffic state of bicycle infrastructure. (And so
