Re: [Tagging] highway=crossing/crossing=traffic_signals

2015-07-15 Thread Richard Mann
I've taken to adding a way on the alignment of the crossing (with
highway=footway+crossing=traffic_signals as tags). This allows them to be
rendered as a orientated feature, rather than just as a node.

I guess the nodes aren't rendered because otherwise you'd have traffic
light symbols dotted all over the place on some junctions. It's hard to
make a coherent render out of single-node features.

 Hi

 The predefined options for a pedestrian road crossing that shares it's
 location with a set of traffic lights in P2, ID  JOSM is highway=crossing
  crossing=traffic_signals: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1353800523

 And yet it doesn't render in mapnik. Is this intentional or an oversight?
 If highway is changed to traffic_signals it renders but ruins the concept
 of sub-tag keys relating to their parent's value.

 It's not like it's a rare occurrence:
 http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/highway=crossing#combinations

 I think this should be included in a future update of mapnik carto's. I
 suggest a traffic light icon with a different colour icon. I note the
 default French render with 'zebra' lines but that doesn't indicate any
 lights are used.

Do you have an example?

I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. It should clarify routing 
slightly. They don't need to be rendered until zoomed right in close.

Thanks

just as a node.


I know little of rendering rules, but the French render appears to 
rotate node icon to suit


http://tile.openstreetmap.fr/?zoom=20lat=49.01049lon=8.3876layers=B000FF

https://github.com/cquest/osmfr-cartocss/blob/abe144cfb375eb7fb403992f06924c40120c6cbf/other.mss#L3547

To me, it seems worse for mapnik to miss the rendering of 75% of traffic 
lights than not displaying any of them. If you can see some the 
assumption is that that's all of them.

Rotating icons didn't used to be possible; maybe it is now (but that's a
feature that isn't available in all renderers, so it's probably better to
use a way, to make the data more usable).
