It wasn't my suggestion. I don't like the idea of "putting a node just before the intersection", because that is arbitrary. If we're tagging an attribute of the way, tag the way - if we're tagging an attribute of the intersection, tag the intersection. I don't know why you make the comment that "making relations and splitting ways" is convoluted. One of the main reasons for David's proposal here is to avoid the need for a relation. And "splitting ways" is already quite a common way to deal with these issues in OSM, is it not (e.g. turn restrictions)? As for whether people will "be bothered" to tag a way, well, I'm not sure. But I don't think mappers are generally lazy. Prone to misunderstanding and confusion, sure, but not lazy. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
