For example if you try to create a routing advice for a car journey. Let's say that the journey starts at Main street number 10 and that Main street is a two way street where the two directions are legally separated. Let's say that number 10 is on the right-hand side of the road and we are in a country that drives on the right side. Let's further say that the shortest way to the destination would be to cross the legal separation and take left. But that would be illegal. But there is no way the routing engine could know that. Unless the two directions are separated. > > Op 10 okt. 2019 om 15:01 heeft Snusmumriken < > > snusmumriken.map...@runbox.com> het volgende geschreven: > > > > > On Thu, 2019-10-10 at 08:38 +0200, Frederik Ramm wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > DWG has been asked to mediate in a user dispute in Germany where > > > a > > > local > > > mapper has chosen to represent a busy four-lane primary highway > > > (two > > > lanes in each direction, and a double continuous line painted in > > > the > > > middle which is physically possible but legally not allowed to > > > cross). > > > > > > Other mappers object to this saying that it violates the rule > > > that > > > there > > > must be some sort of physical division to allow that form of > > > mapping. > > > > > > The original mapper claims that using two separate oneway=yes > > > ways is > > > clearer and easier, as it does away with the need for turn > > > restrictions > > > at junctions.
