That seems to be a bit of a round-a-bout way to indicate that a road continues without interruption. Actually, it doesn't necessarily infer it at all - IMHO the presence of a giveway instruction on the side road doesn't infer the absence of a giveway instruction on the other road. Or at least, if you think it does, it doesn't seem to be very explicit. I have another unrelated problem (same issues discussed with respect to stop signs): you said "probably on a node near the junction, and inferring the direction from the way that the node is on". 1) "Near the junction" is not well-defined, unless you say it must correspond to the giveway *sign* or *line marking* 2) "Inferring the direction" is not well-defined. Surely you should tag direction=forward/backward. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
