[OSM-talk] Editing with potlatch: T-Crossing

[Martin Trautmann]

Hi all,

I do not understand yet how to use potlatch properly.

Check e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit.html?lat=48.02749&lon=7.864732&zoom=18

This should be an area which is composed from
          x
        ffx
       f  x
   ffff   +yyyyyyyyy
       f  z
        ffz
          z

x, y and z are residential roads. In fact, xyz all have the same name, which has to be fixed:

<http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=48.027792~7.863451&style=h&lvl=18&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&where1=freiburg&encType=1>

f is a footway. Unfortunately I'm not able to move the nodes as wanted. The current solution thus shows

        x
     fffxz
    f   yz
ffff     yyyyyyyy
    f    z
     fff z
         z
         z

I did not understand how to remove the footway, make xyz a real T crossing and add this D-shaped footpath properly. I guess I missed the basic understanding how to delete/split/merge. But maybe this example shows how difficult it is for a beginner to identify the proper commands and manual interaction!?

How would I have to do it?
