[Talk-us] SPUI mapping

[Greg Morgan]

Thanks for the help in the Phoenix area.  I've puzzle on how to map these
interchanges.  Here's some other examples just down the road from your
example.  This example is of how the SPUI is typically mapped but seems
lacking http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/33.65519/-112.00010.  Here's
one of my attempts with a focus on traffic light placement
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/33.67301/-111.97759.  The lights hang
off the freeway bridge put I placed them at the stop lines on the
pavement.  The additional junction and routing relations are a nice plus in
your example.

Note that we have had one mapper in the area that removed highway crossings
because he thought that they were excessive.  I wonder what he will do with
turn restrictions?  I don't know if his feelings are based on the way iD or
Potlach displays these types of features.

Regards,
Greg
