Re: Roundabout and destination / sign tagging

2017-01-13 Thread Jack Burke
Yes, that looks like what I was talking about. I will also say this: the ways 
connecting to the roundabout should only be drawn separately if they are 
actually divided in reality, whether by a raised median or a painted one.

With respect to the destinations you aren't sure about, if there is a sign, I 
would just put what's on it.  If there isn't a sign, then it's a little more 
vague. The OSM administrators like to refer to the "ground truth," which seems 
to mean what you see (or need to know) if you are standing at the location. 
Sometimes this can mean adding tags even if there isn't a sign or mark that 
corresponds. I interpret that to mean "add the tag if its absence might lead to 
confusion or uncertainty."

I would encourage you to join some of the OSM mailing lists, and follow the 
conversations to help with situations you aren't sure about.

Re: Roundabout and destination / sign tagging

Thx for your answer. Can you please have a look here if its done correctly?
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=17/49.70213/6.25311
note that 2 ways leads not to a town. one to an industrial zone and one to 
a school (white signs instead of yellow) i'm not sure how to tag this.

I fully agree with you that the destination must match whats written on the 
sign to not confuse the driver.

Re: Roundabout and destination / sign tagging

2017-01-12 Thread Jack Burke
I would offer this:

If the connections to the roundabout are separated by direction (that is, 
there are one-way road sections which separate from the road to/from the 
roundabout, and form the connection to it), then the one-way portion AWAY 
from the roundabout could have destination= and/or destination:ref= tags 
assigned.

Note that this should typically only be done if there is signage present, 
and should match what's on the signs, because that's what people will be 
looking at when they hear the spoken guidance.

If this description isn't clear, please let me know.
