It is difficult to chase tainted junctions though. -- Andrew I've knocked something together as a trial for tainted junctions. My scripts extract the nodes at the start and end of a given set of ways and pass them through quick history to check the licence state. So far I've done

Does your CSV list take into account ways tagged with ODbL=clean? If not (and assuming the rebuild process will honour such tagging) would it be possible for such objects to be excluded from your list? Thanks, Robert. Good spot. No my list didn't allow for odbl=clean. However, the

Do you know if/when that file will be updated as ways are re-mapped? I've done an update and put some info on a wiki page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:MarkS/Remapping The page has the latest counts (down to 1889 currently expected to be deleted). It also has a link to a CSV

I agree that we want to try and have a complete main road network network. Whilst longish stretches of road are easy to spot there are a lot of other small sections (eg. bridges) which are harder to see on cleanmap (unless the rest of the area is clean). We also have the issue of nodes going

Re: [Talk-GB] Relation for M5?

2011-10-08 Thread MarkS
Looking at the wiki (route=road) it seems to suggest a relation can be used here. However, it stikes me that the relation should be more than just the roads without a role. The wiki suggests the road itself would have a forward/backward role, and that link roads should be in the relation

Re: [Talk-GB] Relation for M5?

2011-10-08 Thread MarkS
Maybe the wiki should be updated ? However, I think route relations are quite extensive across the UK. I first came across them on the A1 but I'm fairly confident lots of other roads have them on. I'm a fan of consistency so if we remove the M5 one then we should remove the others as well.
