[Talk-transit] Roundabout, ways and relationship policies
Hi all I'm the guilty party who split up the roundabouts in question to put the bus route relation through it. What do we want correct roundabout junction tags or correct bus routes? I did it this way by splitting the roundabout because it's obviously a roundabout from it shape and relationships to adjoining roads but the bus route doesn't physically use the whole roundabout and so I felt it incorrect to show the route using bits of road it doesn't physically pass over - especially on such large roundabouts Having said that it's a pain in the butt to keep splitting roundabouts for bus routes and I plead guilty (again!) to using whole roundabouts elsewhere on bus routes ( usually much smaller ones than the ones in question.) Most public transport route maps do show the whole roundabout as part of the route - perhaps we should follow their example? The whole thing is inconsistent, including the mappers! Some guidance on a wiki somewhere needed perhaps, or a whole better way of adding route relations. Another issue - some roads can get quite chopped up to cope with route relations where several different bus routes turn off and turn onto the road/down adjoing roadsand then you can lose the sense of the continuity of the road Regards Brian ___ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit

Not the case, 99% of the time, there will be 2 segments of a roundabout which is unused by a route.

[Talk-transit] Change of settings for talk-transit
Just to let you know that I have added Frankie Roberto as an admin for the list as per an earlier discussion. Thanks for helping out Frankie. I have also changed the setting for talk-transit so that replies go to the whole list by default which seemed to be what the majority who expressed a preference wanted.

I have just done a fairly thorough review of both the 0.6 API bulk upload scripts. Neither works fully as expected. I have three options, fix the python one, finish the php one, or port the 0.5 perl one... The first option is currently looking most tempting. -- Regards, Thomas Wood (Edgemaster) ___ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit

If the return trip takes the same roads, eventually the bus will have navigated the whole roundabout, and then the whole roundabout *is* part of the route. As usual, I have a counter example - the bus station leads off the roundabout and comes on to it further on, so there is one section of roundabout that none of the 40 buses an hour that use it travel over! OTOH, some routes go round one-and-a-half times, so should I include that section twice in the relation? (No, I'm not being serious). Yes. Relations are ordered, so you can (and should) put in the exact sequence of ways that the route passes over.

Perhaps it would be nice to know that in the AND import in The Netherlands, almost all roads have been segmented, so they run from junction to junction. Also, all roundabouts were modeled as consisting of separate segments between each connecting road. So, even the pros are modeling it in this split way. -- Lennard ___ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
