[OSM-talk] 2 divided carriage-ways meeting at traffic lights.

[simon at mungewell.org]

Hi,
This type of junction is very common here in Calgary, I just wanted to
confirm that I'm constructed it correctly.

It's basically two divided carriage ways (parallel, opposite one way
streets with curb or larger seperator) crossing at a set of traffic
lights. In addition there are normally turn right lanes which are not
controlled by the lights.

An example (of I what I have been doing) is here:
http://www.openstreetmap.com/?lat=51.11809&lon=-114.07036&zoom=17&layers=0BFT

Since the box/area confined by the lights in not divided (it is open
tarmac), is there something special I should do here. I am worried that
future routing software will say 'take the second left' rather than 'take
the next left'.

Why are there not 'primary_links' and 'secondary_links'? I have been using
unamed roads for the uncontrolled right turns....

Cheers,
Mungewell.

PS. Why are trunk_links rendered above primary/secondary streets. It make
ugly junctions.

PPS. What's the best way to mark pedestrian overpasses/foot bridges? Can
you specify the height restriction for road underneath?
