It's not an unusual occurrence. Tagging Langton Road as through_route = Groombridge Hill would override the natural flow. Tag Ashurst Road as through_route = Langton Road gives that a higher priority than the 'A264' reference, and finally Groombridge Hill gets through_route = Langton Road as well. Although I could accept not tagging that since it is 'natural' once the A264 is ignored. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/through_route throws up a few more points. My point is that this is not a 'relation' problem, but rather that the through_route tag was getting mixed up with traffic management tagging. If you take out all the objections due to junction priority rules and properly document that area of tagging, one is left with only the cases that are missing a link through a junction? With the correct 'give way' tagged on the above junction, again the A264 'priority' is reduced but only if there is no matching restriction on Groombridge Hill? This does of cause create the need for a better micro-mapped junction layout since the highway=give_way tag needs to be a short distance down http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/285608726 and the routing software needs to understand the whole area of the junction rather than just the the common node. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
