Hi,
Apparently, in Australia the default rule at traffic lights is that u-turns
are not permitted.
At some ,there are signs saying " U Turn permitted". How do we tag this.
Turn restriction seem to be either mandatory (only) or prohibitive (no)
but I think we need a permissive one, maybe (allo
Would it be a reasonable solution to have area defaults tagged into the
boundary relation/polygon that defines that area. (e.g an administrative
boundary).
For example, we could have values similar to
"unsigned residential ways" - maxspeed 50
U-turn at traffic signals yes/no
unsigned motorway
A car travelling westbound on an undivided road is about to cross a
north/south divided road at traffic lights.
We wish to prevent the car from doing a U-turn at this intersection.
Do we have to put in two no_u_turn restrictions, one for each of the
north/south carriageways.
If we only need one,

What would be really easy and flexible would be to tag u_turn=no on a node.
This would mean that this node is not allowed to take part in a u_turn
manouver either as part of a from a to or a via. Since most traffic light
intersections seem to be all 4 way no u_turn, all we need is one tage on
each
My suggestion is only for intersections.
U_turns along a road are a whole new ball-game and are dependant on inter
carriageway markings that are not normally tagged. I think these turns are
best left to the driver, the map-data and the router should ignore them.
Cheers

Do we have a tagging scheme for emergency shelters to be used in times of
natural disasters?
Off the top of my head I could see tags such as
emergency=shelter
protects_from=
wind
flood
radiation/nuclear fallout
fire
earthquake
bomb blast
pet=yes/no
bed=yes/no
water=yes/no
food=yes/no

"I think amenity=shelter is well established "
Yes, I read that but saw that it said "a small place", so it doesn't seem
appropriate for disaster relief situations.

Yes it does, although I would think that these would usually be of limited

Yes that is true, although it is only a "see also" reference.

The list of emergency centers would be very much dependent on where the
threat is and what the nature of the threat is.
Therefore I see these as being loaded (by the relevant authorities) only
when a state of emergency is declared and only for the areas affected.

Yes, I agree , this one is silly and means nothing. They are always open,
and if closed will be just deleted from the map.

Hi Eric,
I noticed that in one of the briefings , the Govoner of Florida mentioned
that Goggle was going to dynamically change their "evacuation routes",

My concern is that if these are permanent features, then people will say

I think that information critical to safety needs a higher level of
