I'm experimenting with the Java code from Traveling Salesman http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Traveling_salesman
I'm making library calls to the routing code and it seems that the router does not understand cul-de-sacs mapped as a single self-intersecting way. This got me thinking about different ways to possibly map cul-de-sacs. I generally use Way with highway=residential or highway=unclassified. At the end of the road there is a loop that intersects the same Way. Here is one that I recently mapped: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/158307363 Is this how people generally map these things? One other possibility that I could think of was splitting the circular part at the end and tagging it junction=roundabout. However, this would imply that the road is one-way, and I'm not sure that that is the case. Typically there is no one way sign on the ground and people feel free to travel in either direction on these (though being a cul-de-sac they don't have a lot of traffic). --Peter _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
