Re: [talk-au] Highway route number prefixes for QLD and NT

Hi Mark, Interesting, I will have a look at that. We hope in the future to also make use of route relations, however the key piece of software (osm2pgsql) we use to work with OSM does not support them. One of my colleagues has been working on a replacement for that software. Thanks, Leith Bade

Re: [talk-au] Highway route number prefixes for QLD and NT

Hi Ross and Micheal, Fair enough. Perhaps instead of trying to change the refs to include prefixes, they should be removed for routes that are numerical only to align with your recommendation. Basically: - in Tasmania: change "NH1" to "1" - in Victoria: change all "S x" to "x" - in West

Re: [talk-au] Highway route number prefixes for QLD and NT

Hi Alex, That was what I originally going to implement. However we will need to keep a list of individual routes for QLD NT and WA since there is no way to separate national and state routes in those states to give white or blue shield respectively. The engineers pushed back against this as we

Re: [talk-au] Highway route number prefixes for QLD and NT

Hi Leith, I’d second the finger waggling for tagging for the renderer, however a way out would be to transform the data in Mapbox on a state by state basis to get what you want. So OpenStreetMap records what is on the ground. When your rendering your map you can easily intersect polygons of

Re: [talk-au] Highway route number prefixes for QLD and NT

To me your proposed changes appear to be a lot like tagging for the renderer: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer If the states are not doing alphanumeric then they should not be rendered that way. I'd suggest linking to the routes you are proposing to change and see

Hi, I work for Mapbox as their only southern hemisphere contractor based in Canberra. Recently we begun a project to enhance our maps with highway shield images. Most of Australia has been fairly straightforward to develop shield selection rules for thanks to the alphanumeric system. However
