i didn't put this roundabout in, so when i see stuff like that its hard to know what is the right thing to do unless we put it to the list. my focus at the moment is to get gps trails into roads, connect them up approximately how they look on the ground and get all the attributes i know about tagged. then after that get some guidance about what stuff we're missing... thats the beauty about peer review right? =) and i'm yet to find a decent resource for what roads are named routes. i suppose i need to make notes from the big green signs huh ? =) >> They are "relations" to tie different ways together to form >> logically-connected ways, eg. routes.

I've seen areas around adelaide where they specifically have. it looks a whole lot better to see areas like commercial and schools marked in, its easier to see and the labels are marked up better. i don't understand how the renderer works, but putting in the area attribute helps for the mapper to identify what the thing is for. well it helps me get a better idea about what im editing anyway. =) >> * I think the highway=traffic_signals on B37 next to Cornerstone >> College should include crossing=traffic_signals (or just >> crossing=pelican), as it appears to be a pedestrian crossing, see >> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:crossing. it is a set of lights for a pedestrian crossing for the school. i'll mark it up on the weekend =) > Perhaps a twig to the map features page with respect to this is need, I > find the reading of it very unclear and had been assuming from how it's > written that highway=traffic_signals is used for all traffic signals > (since they all controll traffic)...
