Hello everyone, To improve navigation and guidance in 5 cities of Canada, we embarked on two mapping sprints to map turn restrictions, exit numbers and destination signages using Mapillary images. In total, 423 new turn restrictions, 197 ref tags to motorway_junction nodes, 116 destinations, 277 destination:streets, 181 destination:refs were mapped using Mapillary as the primary source over the last 30 days. For those that missed out, the whole project and mapping methodology has been documented on these Github tickets as a reference for similar projects in future [1],[2]. Here's our diary post [3] for more info.
A special thank you to the Canadian mapping community for the positive response and encouragement during the whole mapping effort. We have had quick and friendly responses through comments on our diary posts, comments on our mapping tickets on Github and talk-ca replies setting a wonderful example of how mappers around the world can work together to build a great map on OSM. We hope to visit Canada one day and have field mapping day with you :) As always, we take feedback seriously on our mapping workflows, documentation and how we can do this better with improved Mapillary and OpenStreetView coverages in future. The goal is for the best map in the world, and our team is happy to support with mapping, documentation and building tools with the community to achieve this. Feel free to get in touch with anyone in our team or post on our Github repository to share your ideas. Best, Data team at Mapbox [1] https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/213#issuecomment-239123147 [2] https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/220#issuecomment-241312561 [3] https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/poornibadrinath/diary/39331
