I mislead you. Sorry. According to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Highway _links should be promoted to the highest highway type to which they connect. So, I've changed them to secondary_links to match New Smizer. Sorry again. I'm just getting used to being on newbies and will try to do better next time. I changed Rd to Road and Dr to Drive, per OSM tradition. ;-) Looks like somebody already added traffic_signals to the four nodes. I removed the fifth signal on a disconnected node. > Thanks (and feel free to make edits this time if you think they are > needed..), Do understand that there are different ways to map that are correct. A first-pass at mapping an area may be much simpler than a detailed "micro-mapping", and different contributors have different styles. I like to think of it this way: - I do my best and so do other mappers. - When I'm adding something new to the map I do what's right from my perspective. - When I see something from another mapper, I have to have an overwhelming reason to change what they have done. - Just because my style may be different is not enough to undo the work of another contributor. Your mileage may vary. ;-) Have fun! _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
