Re: [mkgmap-dev] Directionality of stop signs

Hi Dave,

I don't know any place in the Garmin img format that allows to store 
information about traffic signs or traffic lights,
but I know that there are some bits in the (old) img format which we don't 
fully understand, so maybe there is support.
I think the newer NT format have some support for this since nüvis show e.g. 
speed limit signs.

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Directionality of stop signs

There is an ongoing discussion on the Tagging list that is trying to determine 
how to tag the directionality of stop signs and yield signs as well as 
traffic_signals. The arguments is that if a highway=stop is placed on a node 
that is at the intersection of two ways, it applies to all vehicles crossing 
that node. However, if the stop sign applies to only one of the ways at an 
intersection, the highway=stop node must appear on the proper way at a slight 
distance from the actual intersection. How does a routing engine determine 
whether it's approaching from the "front" of the sign, in which case a stop 
penalty should be calculated, or from the other direction, in which case the 
sign can be ignored?

Does anybody know whether the Garmin routing algo even considers stop signs?
