I've had some more time to think about this, things should stay more or less how they are now, the only extension OSM DB wise would be an additional table storing lane information for ways.
Also the existing API would only need a small extension to cope with this as well. <way id=....> <nd ref=.../> <tag .../> <tag .../> <lane id=... direction=forward from-outside=2> <nd ref=...> <tag k='maxspeed' v='110' /> </lane> <lane id=.... direction=backward from-outside=1> <nd ref=....> <tag k='maxspeed' v='130' /> </lane> </way> This way nodes can apply to a way or just a specific lane, the same with tags, at least from an infrastructure point of view, all it needs then is editors to support it as well and renderers and so on. I'm not saying this is the best answer to the problem, but it's the best one I've been able to come up with so far. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
