Sure, but the reliability is not better when the data promises to be more reliable, but mappers tend to produce errors by reverting ways without any chance to get information about potential problems there. > >> Now your node is part of two ways - and what now? > > The attribute is about traffic signals, you can safely ignore the > pedestrian way (until traffic signals will be common for > pedestrians...) okay, agree - this is detectable, as it matches on nodes where the cycleway/footway in fact crosses the street. What about cycleways? There are traffic signals for cycleways.

Fixed? What's wrong with that? It's a totally valid mapping situation, as long as the idea with direction on nodes is (as it is yet) not the common tagging proposed, e.g. because there are many errors that may occur out of this idea. > Second, read my OP. My proposal is to replace this direction on node > by a relation... ;) I didn't want to offend your proposal, but give arguments why the direction-on-node variant is a bad idea. I have no idea why that offends you (at least partly), when it's neither your idea nor your favourite. regards Peter _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
