Hallo. "Just on the beginning of the private way" is one of the common places for barriers. Its mapping makes an apparent clash between reality and mapping schematic - there is no way to mark this fact exactly. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.071094&lon=14.425607&zoom=18&layers=B000FFF
You cannot draw the barrier just on the cross node - the main street has no gate, it's only on the private way. Drawing it on an additional node gives a bad assumption, that one should search a way with a gate say 10-20 meters from the cross. In fact one should search a gate just next to the street, with no part of the private way visible. Some renderers even render the barrier incorrectly inside the main street line. "Just next to the cross point" is a generic problem, which affects more features. I can imagine marking them as a new type of relation: Proposal: Relation way_affected type=way_affected ... set of feature tags valid for point (e. g. barrier=..., highway=stop,...) members: . node (recurrence: one) start point of way with barrier |_ way (recurrence: one or more) the way affected by the mark It is expected, that "node" is part of all "way" members. rendering: Render feature only on affected "way"(s) just next to the "node" independently on the map scale. ________________________________________________________________________ Stanislav Brabec http://www.penguin.cz/~utx _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
