  Thanks for the suggestion -- but I'd avoid drawing different ways for
  different lanes in a single carriageway.
 
 In some cases it's acceptable to do that. As long as there's either a
 physical barrier or a hard no-changing-lanes restriction between the
 lanes in question.

There's no physical barrier, and the lanes are divided by continuous lines
-- that would be a no-changing-lanes restriction, but I'd still be
uncomfortable with drawing two separate ways -- that doesn't reflect real world.

If you zoom in, you can clearly see the horizontal signals (at least at the NW
street, there's some shadow hiding those in the SW one).

If there are no other suggestions, I'll try to think at something :/

Kindly,
David

You also referred to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_flow_intersection

I don't remember ever seeing one of these in the wild.

I don't think that the intersection that you are looking at is a
continuous flow intersection as described in the wikipedia article.
It appears to be a simple cross junction of two one way roads.  Is
that correct?  If so I would map it with a single node at two
crossing, one-way, ways.

Here, in Ontario Canada, this junction would have no special signage,
other than the one-way arrows (and do not enter, for the opposite).
We have Right turn allowed on red light.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_turn_on_red

This is abstracted locally to include left turn allowed on red when
the junction is one-way to one-way.

You can't obviously see the vertical signals from the aerial imagery.

In the street coming from NW, there is a continuous flow to left -- that means
you can go left even with a Red-light-signal.

In the street coming from SW, there is a continuous flow to right -- you can
go right regardless of the traffic signal once again.

They *are* CFIs.

David

Wouldn't that make routers say turn left and at the traffic signals continue 
stright ahead, and then at the next traffix signals turn slightly left and 
finally turn left when it should be turn left at the traffic signals?

You pass through one set of signals when you cross the oncoming
traffic lanes, and another set when completing the turn onto the cross
street, so I would probably describe it as turn slightly left at the
first traffic signal, go (distance) and turn left onto (street) at the
second signal. I tend to err on the side of tagging every node where
traffic might possibly stop for a red light, and there isn't a good
way at the moment to indicate that there are two or more nodes tagged
with highway=traffic_signal but only one set of signals.

[OSM-talk] Tagging continuous flow intersections

2009-08-23 Thread David Paleino
Hello,
I'm having some issues with the tagging of the so-called CFI -- continuous flow
intersections. These are junctions, often (if not always!) regulated by traffic
signals, where vehicles in a particular lane can freely go into one specified
direction, disregarding the indication of the traffic signals.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_flow_intersection
  http://imagebin.ca/view/SjGkG4.html

(sorry for the second link, don't blame me for my talent :-P)

Surely I'd put an highway=traffic_signals on the junction node, but how to tag
continuous flows? Sorry for not being clearer, please ask if you want/need
more details.

Kindly,
David
