Inside the crossing area the roads overlap, neither ends there - you're on both roads. But you're not on the bridge that starts only several meters away - or inches away if you're already moving towards the bridge. Taking the canal bridges mentioned previously: if you draw the riverbanks/canal edges, it has been the recommendation (I'd have to dig the talk list archives for that) also that the bridge=yes starts and ends at the points where one can get under the bridge - at the water's edge, meters away from the ways marking the roads running parallel to the canal. One thing about the same layer check occurs sometimes: a motorway link road joins the motorway right at the point where the bridge starts: most notably the case where the road markings indicate three lanes on the bridge and only two (+1 approaching but still separate) up to the exact point where the bridge starts. We can make the connected node something other than the point where the lanes come into contact (the acceleration lane's hundreds of meters long anyway, but that would need some kind of a note to be consistent - at least once more people start to get to that level of detail. -- Alv _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
