[talk-au] Fwd: Assistance with ongoing disagreement regarding intersections

[Luke Stewart]

(forgot to x-post to talk-au)

Hi,

The standard rule and the way that I map is to only begin a new way if
there is some form a physical separation, so extra turning ways which can
be completed with a box but are modelled as curves aren't following this
rule (same goes for ways that start when lanes start rather than branching
off where the physical separation begins).

Whilst there are arguments like "it looks better" or "helps with
routing/direction finding/navigation", these are not reasons to break osm,
rather to improve software.

In the case of the Princes Hwy/William Rd
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/779286918/history> intersection, the
residential road should be drawn straight through the intersection, with
the right turn lane specified with keys such as turn:lanes and change:lanes.

As for how to resolve with this user, probably affirming a regional
consensus would be most convincing.

Cheers,
Luke
