Hello,
I'd like some assistance resolving a disagreement I'm involved with
regarding the correct mapping of dual carriageways at intersections. I
have previously mentioned this topic on the mailing list here:
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2021-September/014968.html
[1].
To summarise briefly, a very active contributor prefers to model dual
carriageway intersections in a manner that I don't believe is correct.
Turn lanes are split from main carriageways at the start of the new turn
lane, then cross over each other in an "X" shape, rather than a Box
shape that I've seen documented. (Examples, because I am bad at
explaining: Burwood Hwy/Mountain Hwy [2], Smith St/Dandenong Rd [3],
Burwood Hwy/Dorset Rd [4], Princes Hwy/William Rd [5]) Additional
highways are introduced for left hand turns where there is no physical
separation (eg, Mt Dandenong Tourist Rd/Mountain Highway [6], Greville
St N/Sturt St [7], Glenleith St/Church St [8]). This editor has been an
extremely active contributor for many, many years: I found these
examples by just zooming in on a given town or suburb, found
intersection that was modelled this way, and checked the history to
confirm the source.
I initially engaged with the user in September (111051481 [9]), and
after some initial delay, we have engaged in a productive conversation
[10] since. To the user's credit, they have been patient and
understanding in our interactions, and have made adjustments to their
mapping style based on my feedback. Unfortunately, we have reached a
fundamental point of disagreement [11], and I don't believe further
changeset discussions are going to be productive.
I'm now a little too close to this discussion to be objective, and I
would really appreciate some assistance with this disagreement. Due to
the extraordinary output of this user, simply avoiding editing in
similar areas isn't going to be practical. But am I incorrect in my
assessment of intersection modelling? Is this a question of style, or of
accuracy?
Kind Regards,
Dian.
