Hi! Mapping Barcelona in a more specific way (we have the authorization to use Townhall's Barcelona OpenData, we have one project to import Spain Cadastre buildings and portals, etc.) we have realized we need a more accurate way to map the traffic signals.
Now we have three kinds of these artifacts: -Car/Truck traffic signals. With two or more traffic signals (normally we have one at the side and one above the road). -Bicycle traffic signals. As a city with more than one hundred kilometers of cycleways Barcelona is well-know for the tries of the Townhall to be bike-friendly. -Pedestrian traffic signals. With a position perpendicular to car traffic signal is important because of accessibility data (it can buzz, it can flash, it can count...) I think the best way to do this is using well-know vehicle access tags, and also the most advanced scheme to tag directions and sides. The position of the nodes will be the same as now, on the way it affects little before the crossing. For these reasons I propose new way to tag all these kinds of traffic signals as it follows in every way you have affected by one of these. car,truck... traffic signal: highway=traffic_signals (we can avoid this) traffic_signal:forward/backward=motor_vehicle traffic_signal:direction=forward (only if the above option is not accepted, using iD proposal) side=above side=right or left (it depends of the location of the pole relative to the way it is ) bike traffic signal: highway=traffic_signals (we can avoid this) traffic_signal:forward/backward=bicycle traffic_signal:direction=forward (only if the above option is not accepted, using iD proposal) side=above ,right or left (it depends of the location of the pole relative to the way it is ) pedestrian traffic signal: highway=traffic_signals (we can avoid this) traffic_signal:forward/backward=foot traffic_signal:direction=forward (only if the above option is not accepted, using iD proposal) side=above ,right or left (it depends of the location of the pole relative to the way it is ) horse traffic signal: highway=traffic_signals (we can avoid this) traffic_signal:forward/backward=horse traffic_signal:direction=forward (only if the above option is not accepted, using iD proposal) side=above ,right or left (it depends of the location of the pole relative to the way it is ) then you will complement all of this with another node being the crossing with every road, in the place we do now. Traffic signals are so important we need a good specific scheme to do a good and specific mapping What do you think about that? Salut i mapes (Health and maps) yopaseopor
