[Talk-us] Temporarily Deleting Relations from Interstate Ways

[Philip Shipley]

Hi,

For the last couple of months I have been working by way along each of the
Interstates (starting at H1) and am currently 2/3rds up the I5, checking the
one-ways, putting in/fixing all the bridges and tunnels and checking the
junctions etc based upon Yahoo imagery and the TIGER data.
Before 0.6 I was making great progress, but since the upgrade things have
really slowed down.  It is now taking me a good 30 seconds, often more, just
to split a way - each bridge takes at least 2 mins to define - there are a
lot of bridges and complex junctions!!!

Reading other lists I see that this is a know issue with Potlatch and large
relations, with no immediate solution available.

My idea is to temporarily delete the relations from the highway I am working
on, and then add it back on when the changes are complete. Bearing in mind
that sometimes it might take a few weeks to complete - I'm really looking
forward to I-10 at 2.4k miles!!!!

Any thoughts, objections, better ideas......please don't say JOSM......

Regards

Phil
