every (route) relation makes highway editing more complicated, e.g. when you have to split a single highway into a dual carriageway you will have to know on which of the ways you have to put the route relation, and maybe you will also have to split the relation into 2 (forward, backward). You might do this with little interruption with 1 route, but when there are 10 of them, many mappers will most likely move on and not split the highway. > One solution could be to bring super-relations in general use. +1, they are already in use, and I think in a case where 6 variants of the same route are on the same single piece of way the use of superrelations (route part relations, with which we could assemble the route variants) could simplify the editing. > Or find > another modeling for routes (e.g. with intersection nodes only). not a good idea IMHO, as it makes editing far more complex (you will have to understand from just a collection of nodes which ways are effectively part of a route relation). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
