To be valid a turn restriction relation needs to have: 1. A way with the role "from" 2. A way with the role "to" 3. One or more "via" s that can be either a node or one or more ways 4. The members must connect in a way that you can travel When I say "broken" I mean that one of the rules is broken and when I say "knowledge" I mean I know what a valid turn restriction should be. > from the notes, let me just say I looked over some of the edit this > account does and it breaks the routing for the most part, Changeset: > 120344373 | OpenStreetMap This changeset deleted this turn restriction: https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13905961 which you added in changeset 118257827 and then broke in 118293106 (it only had a node via member). When I reviewed this one I decided to delete it because it would only duplicate this turn restriction: https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/14044389 which you added in changeset 119769921, if I fixed it. > <https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/120344373> and Changeset: > 120198383 | OpenStreetMap This intersection had 15 broken turn restriction relation in it: https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13477255 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13477256 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13477257 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13477258 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13477260 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13477261 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13477263 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13477268 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13477269 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13557714 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13761157 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13761161 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13761169 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13761170 https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/13991446 You broke 14 and added one new broken relation (13991446). While I was deleting these I noticed that the intersection had some sort of cross-your-heart thing going on with added ways for turn lanes, so I simplified it to a standard traffic light box intersection: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-34.76387/138.59277 You can turn right from each arm which means we don't have to have any no-right turns. There are 4 no-left turns because each approach has a slip lane. Since it's SA and at traffic lights then there are four no u-turns to cover that. This is exactly the same routing information that was there before, but now in a simpler easier to maintain format. > <https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/120198383#map=17/-34.76452/13 > 8.59301> are two examples of this account breaking routing, ive been > wasting my time spending hours and hours fixing routing just for this > shitty bot to come along and fuck it all up over and over again, I > would like to ask DWG to take a real close look at this account and > see if it can be banned from any further edits under the bot edit > policy or straight out vandalism! I am not a bot. Just a mapper with overpass, the JOSM validator, the to-do plugin, and many hours of puzzling over the question of what a broken turn restriction relation was supposed to be doing. A couple of years ago I spent quite a bit of time fixing all the turn restrictions around AU, but I have to keep coming back every couple of months, as 100-200 newly broken ones get created every month. Mostly because iD will quietly break existing turn restrictions or let you create invalid ones and then upload them to OSM. I used to put changeset comments on the ones that had broken them until a user asked me how they could stop doing it and I discovered that there isn't a way to do that in iD. My fixes should not be changing any routing outcomes as they are almost all deleting turn restrictions that iD didn't clean up after a mapper reconfigured an intersection. None of the examples you have pointed to have changed the routing outcomes as I check to make sure I understand what someone was trying to map before I fix it. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
