Okay. I’ve made some clarifications to the proposal (avoid confusion with coordination of traffic signals along a length of road …).
The remaining problem is the tag value “type=traffic_signals_group”. I agree that “group” is not the best choise. We could maybe switch to “type=traffic_signals_set”. (I would avoid “intersection_set” because the relation isn’t restricted to intersections, but could theretically also be used for pedestrian crossings on straight road; probably there is not so much need, but I don’t wont to exclude this use case.) So our choise could be “type=traffic_signals_set”? 2015-02-26 6:28 GMT, Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com>: > Looks like this has already been discussed .. in 2008 to 2011. > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Set_of_Traffic_Signals > No outcome for that .. > Past discussion looks to have pointed to a relation ... the relation > contains each node of traffic_light and can have a name= tag. > > I use 'set' because that is how they are called here in Australasia .. > and it looks to be used in the UK too ... > > http://www.tfgm.com/Corporate/Pages/UTC-fault-reporting-form.aspx > > > > On 26/02/2015 4:55 PM, John Willis wrote: >> If group is not a good word, then "set" is a good alternative. >> >> Javbw >> >> >> On Feb 26, 2015, at 8:33 AM, Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com >> <mailto:61sundow...@gmail.com>> wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> This could be confused with the coordination of traffic signals along >>> a length of road or even a district wide coordination of traffic >>> light signals. >>> I think it needs some words that restrict it to a single intersection? >>> >>> And possibly some thought to where a length of road (many >>> intersections) or a district wide coordination of traffic signals >>> occurs?
