Re: [OSRM-talk] Bicycle routing, crossing large roads: how to get information on the roads crossed

Unfortunately, I don't have a good solution to offer, but I wanted to add my two cents. I did a ton of research on this exact problem a couple of years ago and virtually none of the open source routing platforms I came across were properly equipped to handle it. It seems to be an issue that only

Re: [Talk-us] Bicycle infrastructure

You'll probably want to include cycleway=buffered_lane as well. It's undocumented but used pretty frequently in some places. PeopleForBikes has published a list of OSM tags they use in their Bike Network Analysis tool (disclosure: I worked on this project). You can download the list here:

[Talk-us] People For Bikes Connectivity Tool

A final run of scoring will occur at the end of May. I've been heavily involved in the development of the tool and am happy to answer any OSM-related questions. Regards, Spencer Gardner ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.opens

Re: [Talk-us] greenways tagging

I agree that OSM tags related to bicycle infrastructure could be expanded. However, I'm not convinced many of the situations raised in this discussion can't already be addressed by existing tags (e.g. vehicle=no for a street with no vehicular access). Bike boulevards are especially tricky, since

Perhaps I can answer my own question. I hadn't noticed the flashing_lights=yes suggestion in the wiki. So does a scheme like this make sense?: crossing=uncontrolled flashing_lights=yes button_operated=yes On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 4:18 PM, Spencer Gardner <spencergard...@gmail.com>

[Talk-us] RRFB Tag

Is there a conventional way to tag Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons ? These are effectively crosswalks with additional signage and user-activated flashing yellow lights. The crossing=traffic_signals tag seems

No. That's not a mistake. My city uses this as a standard treatment in a number of locations. And as was mentioned earlier this facility type is also common in California. On Thu, Feb 16, 2017 at 9:49 AM, Paul Johnson <ba...@ursamundi.org> wrote: > On Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 11:11 AM

[Talk-us] Combined parking/bike lanes

Hi all. Has anyone worked out a good tagging scheme for combined bike/parking lanes? I'm not sure how common they are elsewhere but there are a number of such facilities in my city. For reference, you can see an example here:

[Talk-us] Center Turn Lanes/Auxiliary Lanes

I've been researching the way auxiliary lanes (right/left turn, etc.) are tagged in OSM but I can't tell if there's an accepted standard for handling these. There are a number of competing proposals for different scenarios and nothing seems to cover all cases.

[OSRM-talk] Per-Direction Node Restrictions

Is there currently a way to treat a node differently based on the way that is used to access it? I think what I'm after is something similar to the discussion here: https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/issues/2652 My issue is specific to bicycle routing, though. There are instances where

[Talk-us] MassGIS Road Import - Lanes

Is anyone on here familiar with the process that was used to upload MassGIS road data for the state of Massachusetts? I'm noticing a lot of incorrect lane information on one-way residential streets and wondering if the bulk import process could be the cause. I'd love to hear if anyone else has
