[talk-au] Proposed Bulk Edit: Road Route Numbering.

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Dian,

 

I have done all the route relations for the A, B and C roads in Tassie and added the network=AU:TAS. I wasn’t aware that it was also needed on the individual ways?? I understand they have the corresponding ref tag (A1, B22 etc) but is there a need for the network tag on all the ways? It’s a bit unclear on the wiki as it only talks about routes.

 

I think Tassie is a bit easier as we only have one National route and no numeric routes.

 

I used the following Overpass Turbo to collect up the appropriate class of roads

 

[out:xml][timeout:25];

{{geocodeArea:tasmania}}->.searchArea;

(    relation["route"="road"]["type"="route"]["ref"~"^A"]["network"!="AU:TAS"]["addr:country"="AU"]["addr:state"="TAS"](area.searchArea);

);

out meta;

>;

 

Easily edited for other classes

 

Cheers - Phil

Hello,

 

Just an update regarding this piece of work.

I was able to complete a bulk edit in Western Australia, however I found that it took a significant amount of effort. WA is the "easiest" of the states to convert, as it has less numbered routes and no alphanumeric routes to worry about.

Unfortunately, I don't believe a bulk edit for the other states is practical. Relations are much easier to update, but segments of highways that are shared by multiple routes are inherently manual tasks.

I will continue updating relations where I can, but any help would be greatly appreciated tagging highway segments.

Hello list,

You may recall earlier this month the road route tagging guidelines were updated to adopt the "AU:" country prefix in the network field. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2022-September/016533.html

In order to make the transition as quick and seamless as possible, I'd like to propose a bulk edit to adjust the network tabs across Australia.

The edit would:

*	Change all road network tags to use the AU prefix in alignment with the new tagging guidelines (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Roads#Routes)

If there is support for this effort, I will make the change in one weeks time.

 

Would appreciate your thoughts and concerns.

Dian
