Hmm, what routing reasons? The only cases where streets need to be split into multiple ways, in my experience, is where the tagging changes or a junction=roundabout intervenes. However, in your example area, many of the streets are divided into what seems like an unnecessarily large number of ways. If the tagging doesn't change between adjacent ways, then shouldn't the ways be merged into a single way? For example, on Малый проспект В.О. (Maliy Avenue of V.I.) the following consecutive ways all have exactly the same tags: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/31374333 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/31395443 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/29043983 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/31387923 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/31400577 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/36738855 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/31893349 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/60948948 Can you or someone else explain why the street was mapped using so many ways? The next way along the same street, http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/35497072 has the tag railway:tram added so it's correct to be split at the node, http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/308322656 Regards, Simon. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
