Having recently started mapping paths, stiles etc I did find this in the documentation for stiles and gates. There is nothing in barrier=entrance but presumably this isn't an issue for routers. <br><br>A general page on mapping the UK countryside might be useful for new mappers.<br><br>Regards<br><br>Dudley<br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> From: phil@trigpoint.me.uk<br>> To: talk-gb@openstreetmap.org<br>> Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2012 23:15:58 +0100<br>> Subject: [Talk-GB] Stiles (and gates) on roads<br>> <br>> I have recently found a fairly common problem with stiles and pedestrian<br>> gates where footpaths join roads.<br>> <br>> Often a stile, or gate tagged for access on foot only, is used at the<br>> junction with a road. Routers then assume the road is for foot only and<br>> route around.<br>> <br>> I am not finding any users are making this error a lot, but a lot of<br>> users who have mapped a few paths have made this error. So not something<br>> that can be fixed by a few emails. I guess it is in a similar vain to<br>> the common error of ending a footpath at the hedge and not joining it<br>> with the roads way.<br>> <br>> The scale of the problem is shown here, some are stiles which continue<br>> from dead end roads, but most cause OSRM to avoid the node<br>> http://www.overpass-api.de/api/convert?data=way%2849.2%2C-7.6%2C59.2%<br>> 2C3.5%29[highway%3D%22unclassified%22]%3B%28node%28w%29[barrier%3D%<br>> 22stile%22]%3B%29%3Bout&target=openlayers<br>> <br>> It will take a minute or so to load.<br>> <br>> It mostly affects unclassified and tertiary roads, which is probably why<br>> it is not being reported through map dust. But I have already fixed a<br>> few on primary and trunk roads. My solution has been to move the stile<br>> node away from the road slightly and create a short section of path to<br>> link back to the road. <br>> <br>> I am gradually working through the problem and will carry on until it is<br>> fixed, but am wondering.<br>> <br>> Is there a list of pitfalls for new user that this can be added to?<br>> <br>> Is it something that can be added to keep-rights list of problems?<br>> <br>> Thanks<br>> Phil<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Talk-GB mailing list<br>> Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org<br>> http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb<br></div> </div></body>
