I am trying to figure out the conventions used to map bus routes. I am trying to find out how the ways making up the relation should be drawn or used.
Do the "ways making up the route" (as defined on Relations/Routes proposal) must be actual highway-tagged ways, or they may be distinct (maybe untagged) ways drawn over the highway ways? I am asking that because on some streets there may be many different bus routes going through it with different entry/exit points. If the ways making up the bus route must be the actual highway ways, those streets will need to be splitted on many tiny little ways, so that each section will belong to a different set of route relations. Did I understand it correctly? Being able to draw a separated way for each bus route instead of splitting the highways on small segments would avoid this, but I don't know if it would be recommended. Do you have other suggestions on how to avoid splitting the highway ways into small pieces on those cases? -- Eduardo _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
