Hello! Please, look at a proposal http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Connecting_of_routes .
Preconditions We have some tags on ways and relations, which describe routes, for example, European routes (see WikiProject Europe/E-road network). The network has some gaps, which are caused by formal reasons. For example, there is Route 1, which goes to the City, or through the City, and there is Route 2, which goes near the City at distance, for example, 10 kilometers. Formally there is no exact connection of this routes. Tasks E-road network can be used, for example, for creating generalized map of whole Europe. If we get only roads, which are marked with int_ref=E ХХ and/or belongs to relations of European route, the resulted map will be not fully united. Proposal The text below is related to European routes, but the proposal can be extended to another networks. It is proposed to connect European routes in situations, when the connection is obviously existed (there is a road of appropriate status, which connects European routes), by relations. type=route route=road network=e-road e-road=A_link from=<number of first European route> to=<number of second European route> Description: type=route - this is a route route=road - this is a route for motorcars network=e-road - this is a cars' route, which is related to E-road network e-road=A_link - this is a connecting route between two European routes of class A from and to - European routes, which are connected Example: Relations for connecting E 95 and E 105 near Saint Petersburg - 2814607 and 2814608. from = E 95 network = e-road e-road = A_link route = road to = E 105 type = route Truly yours, Dinamik _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
