<pre class="k9mail">I'd always assumed that the correct way to map turn lanes is via:<br /><br /><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:turn:lanes">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:turn:lanes</a> .<br /><br />However, some mappers in the UK* have started mapping each individual <br />lane as a separate parallel road. Here's an example:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/267402#map=19/53.03296/-0.52524&layers=N">http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/267402#map=19/53.03296/-0.52524&layers=N</a><br /><br />That note was obviously written from the point of view that mapping a <br />single carriageway road as one way with appropriate turn lanes tags is <br />"correct"; whether it is or not is the question that I'm asking here.<br /><br />So - should we map a dual carriageway as two parallel roads and a single <br />carriageway as one (with appropriate turn lanes) or is it equally valid <br />(or even perhaps better) to map each turn lane as a
separate parallel <br />road, even if there's nothing but a broken line of paint between them?<br /><br />I'm trying to get some idea of concensus here because obviously it'd be <br />wrong for me to go back to another mapper and say "you're not doing it <br />correctly" if there isn't a concensus about the best way to do it, or <br />the concensus is that what they're doing is at least equally valid.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Andy<br /><br />* and this isn't a question about just one mapper - I've seen a few <br />people do it. The example junction on the A17 just happens to be one <br />that I spotted today (and a junction that I'm familiar with from walking <br />that section of the Viking Way).<br /><br /><br /><hr /><br />Talk-GB mailing list<br />Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org<br /><a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
