Hi everyone, I want to ask about traffic lights in dual-carriaged intersections. Sometimes the intersections have traffic_lights on the intersecting nodes where the ways cross, and sometimes the lights are outside of the intersecting nodes. Here are two examples of intersections and the different ways traffic_lights are placed:
lights on nodes: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/35.13084/-106.58631 lights off nodes: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/31.76873/-106.31877 I have been moving traffic lights out out of these intersections, largely for the reason brought up here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/osmand/jHjZ_zGF_Vg I would see that if a user needs to make a left turn, through an intersection with lights on intersecting nodes, the router would penalize the path heavily for having to route through three traffic lights in a row. I have been told that if the intersection has lights in the intersecting nodes, that is sufficient for mapping and should not change. The OSM Wiki page seems to state that "there is no well established convention on how this problem should be ideally solved". https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals#Tag_all_incoming_ways I am genuinely curious to know from OsmAnd developers what their point of view is. Does OsmAnd's routing prefer traffic_lights moved out of intersecting nodes of dual-carriaged intersections, or does its routing treat a cluster of traffic_light'd nodes as a single weight? Thank you in advance for helping me understand. -curtis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
