[talk-au] Data set of interest: Geelong roads (incl speed limits, one way, cycle attributes)

[Daniel O'Connor]

Hey all,
Some work went in earlier to import a number of geelong roofprints, and I
got to talking with the data provider, Martin, about data sets that might
be of interest to the community.

I've just spotted:
http://data.gov.au/dataset/7014a203-2e73-46f8-87b6-09e29172bb08

You can see most of the roads in Geelong are well named:

http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=highways&lon=144.38091&lat=-38.12222&zoom=11&overlays=name_missing_major,name_missing_minor,name_fixme

There's a lot less data for minor roads:
http://www.itoworld.com/map/124?lon=144.34969&lat=-38.15224&zoom=11

Presumably a lot are the default.

Interestingly, the data set contains *One Way*, *Cycle* and *Truck Route* flags
as well.

It would be a big deal to import all of this by hand or even script a bunch
of it, so perhaps cleaning up the primary and secondaries would be an
easier starting point (and most useful for routing):
