It is needed for several situations that currently cannot be mapped completely (different surfaces, different maxspeeds, different turn-restrictions, etc.) and I see some cons of mapping this explicitly: - is probably more work to map every lane - will probably be a bigger file to handle in various apps but I also see the pros: - is easier to understand and more intuitive to edit: better maintenance: you see what is there - is more precise in terms of positional accuracy - can better represent stuff like ramps for motorways (parallel ways that currently are mapped like intersections), cyclelanes, ... so I just wait for even bigger parts of Germany being finished, so people have time for this ;-) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
