[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Road junctions

[Gareth L]

Hello all,

Is there a nice example of mapping road junctions? Particularly ones that are spread out?
Basically, I’ve had a punt at mapping the junction between technology drive and mill road in Rugby. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/52.38125/-1.24981 It has all the turn restrictions correct, and I’d expect it to route beautifully, but... avoiding the mapping for the renderer pitfalls, it looks rather rough.
My objective here was actually to allow myself to map the pedestrian/cycle ways more clearly - especially the crossing islands - as the crossing doesn’t clear right across the junction, just across the lane. The issue is this large T junction is spread over a very large area of asphalt with filter lanes etc.

I guess my gripe is having a bunch of ways representing what is really a field of asphalt. I’d welcome some advice on this, even if it’s “oh gads, revert that to a simple T junction immediately”, although in that case I’d really like to know the right way to do it, if such a thing exists.

There’s substantial mapillary and google streetview imagery available of this location if you want some context.

Kind regards
Gareth
