The signs are pretty common, but the tag is not as there are only about 80 of them in the GTA and 181 worldwide. I'm wondering if there might be a more appropriate way to tag these, instead of tagging them as a restriction? Perhaps something like "restriction:signal"="no_turn_on_red", so that it doesn't get picked up on a search for the 'restriction' key? I don't think the developers are likely to bother checking for such an uncommon tag at this point.
I'm routing with OSRM <http://project-osrm.org/>, which is also used on the homepage of openstreetmap.org. -Nate ________________________________ From: James <james2...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2016 3:19:28 PM To: Nathan Wessel Cc: Talk-CA OpenStreetMap Subject: Re: [Talk-ca] restriction=no_right_turn_on_red causing routing problems in Toronto What application were you using to route?

I posted about this on the restrictions talk page, here<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Relation:restriction#No_Turn_On_Red>, and someone suggested that because the restriction value starts with 'no_', it is, and should be, treated like an absolute restriction which prevents any turns from the 'from' way to the 'to' way. Anyway, I'm hesitant to outright delete these because I presume they contain some potentially useful information, but I also need them to stop restricting turns so I can use the data for routing. Maybe these should not be 'restriction's, but something else? I'd be happy to make the edits if someone can come up with a good suggestion here.
