[OSM-talk] Mapping Mottram and Tintwistle proposed bypass

[Jon Burgess]

I have deployed Steve's changes and one example which has rendered
already is the current alterations to M1 J8:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.75704&lon=-0.41518&zoom=16&layers=B0FT

In the current Mapnik osm.xml file a road will render in the same dashed
style if it has highway={proposed,construction} regardless of the
proposed= or construction= tag. In both cases the name= tag will be used
for the text.

This construction has recently moved the position of the entry/exit
roads on the Eastern side of the junction. Someone corrected this data
earlier this week and the updates are shown already on the Osmarender
layer.
