No. That is a waste of time and error prone. They should be doing some more preprocessing. I know that the routing engines can take into account of nodes as I have seen at least 2 that know about the traffic lights nodes. The other problem that I see is the meaning of the different types of barrier. The authors don't know the full list, not do they know whether you can get past them in each mode of transport. Can you please point to a wiki page that contains a table with each row being a set of tags and each column having the modes of transport (motorcar, foot, bicycle, etc.)? If not can you please make one. Shaun _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
