Hi everyone!
I noticed that the proposal for a give_way type relationship [1] has
been in draft for nine solid years. It seems a great solution to the
current limitations of highway=give_way and highway=stop, also because
it reuses a tagging scheme that is widely accepted both by mappers and
by consumers for turn restrictions.
I suggest that discussion on this proposal be revived. It should
undergo the regular voting process and finally become an approved
relation type.
It may also be that it became a de facto standard in the meanwhile.
Does somebody know of a router that uses this relation, possibly to
provide navigation indications?
Regards,
Simone
[1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Give_way
From wikipedia: In road transport, a YIELD (Canada, Ireland, and the
United States) or GIVE WAY (Hong Kong and most Commonwealth countries)
traffic sign indicates that a vehicle driver must prepare to stop if
necessary to let a driver on another approach proceed (but has no need
to stop if his way is clear). A driver who stops has yielded or given
his right of way to another.
Canada etc... are not the only countries in the world and highway=give
way <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dgive_way> mentions
an international standard sign. URLs (links) to more information would
be very much welcome
A driver who stops in Belgium has *NOT* yielded or given his right of
way to another.
This rule might have changed for compatibility with other European
regulations.
Even more that wrong speed limits, this misinformation can lead to
accidents.
It should be changed in the wiki.
Cheers,
André.
