The traffic is a fluctuating measurement. OpenStreetMap is about the objects and networks on the ground.
Yes your idea is good and I've had a similar idea with bicycle parking (when is a rack full, empty, or in-between). It makes sense to keep it in a designated database. When one enters data they can say what time of day it was and how long they sat there for. You can combine all the entries and then automatically translate that too things like "at current time of day it is x cars/hour" or "it is on average x cars/hour during the day". You can of course still work with the OSM data. -- Gregory [email protected] http://www.livingwithdragons.com
