I have a question about work that's largely upstream of OSMAnd, but I'm having trouble finding an effective place to ask.
The question regards traffic controls, specifically STOP and GIVE WAY. I want to map an intersection where one way faces STOP signs, where the other way is uncontrolled. Following my best understanding of the description of highway=stop <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dstop> on the OpenStreetMap Wiki, I've placed 'highway=stop' nodes a short distance back from the conflict point, at a location corresponding approximately to where a vehicle must stop. One example is http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4408885039. What I find happens in the car is that I do not (reliably) get an alert when approaching Balltown Road from Alexis Avenue. On the other hand, if I'm turning into Alexis Avenue off Balltown Road, I get "ATTENTION: STOP SIGN" just prior to making the turn. This behaviour seems to be the opposite of what I want. I'm guessing that I've entered the data incorrectly, but I've not been able to get any useful information about what I should have done. Ideally, I'd like a pointer to one (non-four-way) STOP sign - just one - that's done correctly, so that I can follow that example. I've not found any so far. I asked on the OpenStreetMap 'tagging' mailing list, and the ensuing discussion reached stratospheric levels of abstraction, including a serious suggestion that an 'enforcement' relation is needed to model the case. I was not able to glean even one correct worked example from all the talk, and left the thread more confused than when I started. (Surely, the ' enforcement <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:enforcement>' relation, when I read about it on the Wiki, did not tell me anything about how to model such a thing.) It's hard to believe that I'm the first person to be confronted with needing to enter the data for a two-way stop. Can anyone here either - point me to a correct example - explain what I did wrong with the stop sign above - or point me to a better place to ask, ideally one where data consumers can tell me what they'd like to see, rather than the architecture astronauts <https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2001/04/21/dont-let-architecture-astronauts-scare-you/> of the 'tagging' list? My apologies if I'm asking in the wrong place, but my Google-fu has been failing me, and asking on a mailing list that I thought might have been the right place has been entirely unhelpful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
