Hello everyone! Turn restriction sprint was met with an amazing response! We loved working with you all on adding turn-restrictions in Canada. We appreciate the timely help and suggestions we got which helped us add correct restrictions and to also maintain the quality of data we were adding on to OpenStreetMap. We hope that this support will continue further, as we are embarking on mapping exit numbers and destinations in the same 5 cities of Canada.
We have made an easier workflow [1] with tasking manager [2] for adding exit and destinations. We would like your assistance, participation and continued involvement in the project. We have captured the details of this task here [3]. After a preliminary look into the already mapped exit numbers and destinations, we have these observations: - We noticed that `destination` (places, cities) and `destination:ref` (highways) tags are being added to the nodes of exits as `name` tags. - Few exit nodes have destinations given in the `ref` tag. - The `destination:street` (towards streets, avenues, boulevard, rue) tags were not being used. To begin with, we have one question: Destinations given in the name tag of nodes is not usual protocol for adding these tags. We want to make sure whether it is valid or if we could change these tags to the `destination` based tags accordingly. For more details, here's the complete breakdown [4]. To reach out to more audience, we have captured this in a OSM diary post [5]. We would like to hear from the community about the agreed method of mapping exit numbers and destinations to take this forward. 1. https://gist.github.com/manoharuss/3a1b4f640aaf2c052365fcb1ddb09beb 2. http://cfn-tasking-manager-staging-vpc-387856624.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/project/20 3. https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/220 4. https://gist.github.com/poornibadrinath/9333f1489732c32c3ffadd58e3068b7e 5. https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/poornibadrinath/diary/39246 Thank you!
