This is great news!

I do have one suggestion for y'all: there are a number of turn restriction 
relations with "restriction"="no_right_turn_on_red", now mostly in Ottawa, with 
a few in Montreal. These were causing problems with a couple different routing 
engines (OSRM, OpenTripPlanner). Someone on the tagging list suggested changing 
these to "restriction:on_red"="no_right_turn", which is what I recently did for 
all such restrictions that I could find in greater Toronto. That gets them out 
of the "restriction" tag I guess, and at least they aren't causing problems 
now. They had been preventing all right turns, as was the expected behavior per 
the wiki.


Just something to watch out for! (and hopefully not to create any more of, 
unless the tagging changes)


Cheers,
Nate

Subject: [Talk-ca] Let's map missing turn restrictions in Canada


Hello everyone,

In a collective effort to improve OpenStreetMap, Mapbox's Data team is working 
on improving Navigation in top 5 Canadian Cities [1]. We have built an easy 
tool to ease our efforts in mapping turn restrictions.

We would love to have the community to try this tool and share their thoughts 
and ideas on on our existing workflow on how to make it better. Here's a diary 
post [2] with more details. Looking forward to work together and make 
OpenStreetMap the best!
