Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - traffic_signals=crossing_only
Hi, in a discussion during voting on my proposal of traffic_signals=crossing_only (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/traffic_signals%3Dcrossing_only) there was mentioned that the existing values of traffic_signals=* partial rather describe the configuration of a traffic signal (blinker, continuous_green, blink_mode) than describing their responsibilty. But I think that's not the case for all ones, because "emergency", "bus/tram_priority" and "ramp_meter" are responsibilities, to me. But how to tag a traffic signal which is blinking every time (blink_mode) but only activated/chaging to red for the cars when a pedestrian wants to cross (traffic_signals=crossing_only) then? Two tags get in conflict here, but I think both have a legitimation to get tagged. The same cann appear for a "bus_priority" signal, for example. My question is, whether we need a new key for differentiation between "how is a traffic light configured" and "for what is a traffic light responsible". Something like "traffic_signals:default_light"? Then the "resposibility" of a traffic light can go on traffic_signals=*, and traffic_signals:default_light could describe if the signal has a light before getting activated, so values could be "staying_green","staying_yellow","blinking_yellow", something like this. I would like to hear/read what you think. --Lukas Gesendet: Freitag, 08.

Current tagging (highway=crossing/crossing=traffic_signals, sometimes + button_operated=yes), does not allow to distinguish them clearly. It carries potentially information because the traffic lights I mentioned have other circuits and are often activated on-demand only.

It has been discussed about on the mailing list at 2020-04-13 and a few days after. The proposal's purpose: traffic_signals=crossing_only marks those highway=traffic_signals which do only control a crossing Why? It's interesting for routers concerning penalty times (much lower on those points than for a junction) and at the moment, there is no real way to mark that: highway=traffic_signals + crossing=traffic_signals is used together on the same node, but NOT only in those cases where there is a „crossing-only“ traffic light. It's also used on junctions. We discussed that it would be difficult to change that, because highway=traffic_signals + crossing=traffic_signals is an accepted tagging and can be used together also when the exact locations of the crossings - at a junction - are not known and in some other cases. highway=traffic_signals + crossing=traffic_signals + button_operated=yes can be used, but with looking just at button_operated=yes, this does not mean that there is only a crossing and not a traffic junction. Crossings at junctions can have buttons for pedestrians, too, example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3070180267 So the solution would be to add another under-category for highway=traffic_signals, as traffic_signals=* does it already. --Lukas ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
