The reason for the complexity and seeming overuse of ways and restrictions is that I am mapping legally binding pavement markings along with the actual travel ways. It is my understanding that pavement markings are as enforceable as stop signs and traffic lights and, therefore, are subject to key:access type treatment, such as through use of turn restriction relations. I don't know about Pennsylvania, but here in Florida a single white line does not legally prevent crossing. But even if it did, we don't map a double yellow as a median. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

You're confusing double white with single white. No, I'm not. And I agree with Mikel that this sort of reply is unproductive. The fact that double yellow means crossing the centerline markings for passing is prohibited and not crossing the centerline markings is prohibited is quite significant. You can, if it is safe and not otherwise prohibited, make a left turn across a double yellow. You can, if it is safe and not otherwise prohibited, make a U-turn across a double yellow. The only sense in which a double yellow prevents crossing if there are no intersections nearby, is if any place where someone might turn is called an intersection. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

+1 it's nowhere close to a standard to split lanes. It is just a plate of spaghetti. hard to edit and maintain for no good reason. If it where anywhere where I care I'd just revert that.

I would like to have some critique from someone experienced in mapping such junctions so that I ensure I am following current best practice and am not just creating a bunch of plates of unpalatable spaghetti. Two recent junctions are found in the following permalink views * http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=40.095879lon=-75.296179zoom=18layers=M * http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=39.128273lon=-77.237731zoom=18layers=M Yuck. A separate way should not be used for a turn lane (unless that lane is separated by barriers or maybe a wide striped-off area). Corollary: a separated right-turn lane begins and ends approximately where the traffic island begins and ends, not where the separate lane begins and ends. Turn restrictions are not for identifying which lane goes where. They are for restrictions on turning (e.g. if no left turn is allowed, you use a no_left_turn restriction). Thus neither example needs any restrictions, since you can turn in any direction from any approach. (Some mappers like to use what are, frankly, completely redundant restrictions that force you to do what any router will have you do anyway, such as no right turn at the intersection if there's an island-separated right turn lane.) The second one is a simple crossing of two divided roads, found all over the place (e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=28.38582lon=-81.506134zoom=18layers=M - note if you check against the aerial that the west-to-south right turn has recently received an island). Of course the above is just my opinion, strongly influenced by what I have seen as standard practice all over the country. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
