[Talk-us] Downgrading 'motorways' around toll plazas?

[Tod Fitch]

That is possible.

And a fix in Osmand is relatively easy (edit routing.xml to set the assumed/default *_link speed to about 1/2 that of the assumed/default speed of associated non-link way). Can be further improved by setting all the assumed speeds to match the real world defaults in your part of the US. However that solution has been posted several times on the Google Groups page for Osmand and has not been acted on. My last couple of suggestions, along with pull requests with working changes, have been rejected by the Osmand team so they apparently feel differently about a number of things than I.

If this is mapping for the router then it is just as bad as mapping for any other data consumer (renderer).

Cheers!
Tod
