Re: [Tagging] noexit=yes (again) (and again)

2014-05-31 Thread Volker Schmidt
Sorry, I may have missed part of this endless discussion.
But how do I tag a dead-end sign on a road
(e.g. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zeichen_357.svg).
These signs exist in various forms in various countries, and they are
placed at the beginning of the road or stretch of roads which don't lead
anywhere.

you'd tag it best on a node with traffic_sign=* (e.g. dead_end)

This is not so obvious, because it has to be directional (for the router).
If you start your route in such a dead-end street you never get out, if
it's not directional.
The noexit=yes on the way to me seems much simpler and intuitive.
(I used the tag initially in this way, when I started with OSM. I had no
doubt about it's use in this way, until I came across some discussion in a
mailing list)

What does the router have to do with the traffic sign? What information
does it get from it that can not be easier got from the topology?

Tagging it on a way can just be as confusing. The router might never 
enter the street, because right at the begging of the street it says 
noexit=yes.
Bascially you don't have to tagg it for the router at all, because it 
will see there is a street that does not continiue. And if it continiues 
with a footpath then it will see that you can't drive there with a car.
Because of that alone a nonexit=yes is a bad solution as default tag for 
dead end road when there is a sign, because often people on foot or bike 
can still continue, but nonexit=yes suggests they can not.

Re: [Tagging] noexit=yes (again) (and again)

2014-05-31 Thread Tod Fitch
Any decent router will totally ignore a noexit=yes tag as it determines the 
topology from the actual ways and how they are connected.

The noexit=yes tag serves only one purpose and has two different "data 
consumers": the next human mapper that comes along and automated QA tools. It 
allows those two data consumers to know that a way that ends close to another 
way but is not connected to it is not a mistake. For that purpose it should be 
on the node at the end of a way that is very close to but not touching another 
way.

I agree with Martin that if you wish to tag a street sign that says "no outlet" 
or "dead end", then put a node where the sign is and tag it with 
"traffic_sign=*".

Agreed. I had a funny feeling this conversation would arise again. The
matter is simple and is spelled out in the snippet from Tod. I use the
noexit tag on the last node of a highway that offers no way forward, mostly
for other mappers so they do not have to investigate these dead_ends again.
Tagging the way makes no sense to me because there could be legitimate
routable destinations before the dead_end is reached. If you must tag
something at the beginning of a dead_end, tag the sign.
