The example I gave was a simplification to demonstrate the issues. From Johns response I did realize I had gotten the directions which I assumed is why it did not make sense to him. If you want to visualize the situation look at the link I supplied (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.82907&lon=151.21494&zoom=17&layers=0B00FTF ) and consider east bound traffic on Falcon Street turning right to go south crossing the west bound way and onto the freeway, this was my simple example. It might be clearer if you are use to JOSM to look at it rather than the slippy map.
There is a third solution which I have seen. Typically the interchange ways cross 2 other ways. Normally I think of the via in a turn relation being a node. I am not sure the routers work this way, but if the right turn lane is a separate way with a common nodes with ways it crosses (but turns are not allowed).The right hand turn then becomes a separate way as the on-ramp. An only_straight_on relation is used with from east bound way (ending where right hand way takes off) via right hand turn lane to freeway on-ramp The question is will this stop routers from allowing turns on common nodes between right hand turn way and other crossing ways. An example of this can be found here http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.73853&lon=150.91979&zoom=17&layers=0B00FTF Roy Rankin On 01/12/2010 04:12 PM, Roy Wallace wrote: > On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 2:57 PM,<[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Would anyone else like to comment? > > Yes, but as John asked can you point us to the example?
