Subject: Re: [Talk-ca] Problem with overpasses in NB?? 

Okay, so I've done some digging. Unfortunately, the Overpass API does not have 
a function to identify intersecting ways with a shared node. The only way to 
find those would be do do an Overpass query for all the bridges and then use 
javascript to identify the ways that share nodes. I lack the skills to do the 
latter. 

Identifying bridges which lack the layer tag, however, is easy: 
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1FZ

Once all the missing layer tags will have been added, we can then use 
keepright's (http://keepright.ipax.at/) layer conflicts function. Based on the 
description of that function it actually seems like it should already be able 
to find the problematic junctions:

"Connected ways should be on the same layer. Crossings on intermediate nodes of 
ways on different layers are obviously wrong. Junctions on end-nodes of ways on 
different layers are also deprecated, but common practice. So you may ignore 
this part of the check and switch them off separately. Please note that bridges 
are set to layer +1, and tunnels to -1, anything else to layer 0 implicitly if 
no layer tag is present."

Here is another sample of the problem since Richard corrected my other example 
;-)

As I see it there are 2 problems with these bridges:
1) they intersect with the roads that pass beneath them
2) the layer value is not set so the default value of layer=0 (ground) is 
assumed. Typically a bridge should have layer=1.

I would like to have an overpass api query that selects bridges that meet 
either of these conditions.

Thanks,
Bernie.
