I feel that this information can largely be approximated from road classifications. PT Assistant already complains if a bus route is using a road lower than a certain classification. As and when turn restriction data is added, routers can adapt the route automatically. > [...] how can editors know when it is necessary to add a waypoint to show a > route correctly? I think it will always need mapper testing, as it already does. But PTv3 does remove a lot of moving parts, and makes creation and maintenance of routes easier. > If a new road is being built next to existing road which doesn't affect > existing public transit routes, how to preemptively make sure routing engines > won't automatically redirected a route to the new road? In this case, since the platforms being served haven't changed, I think you'll find that 1. The likelihood of the route changing is very low. Even hail and ride routes shouldn't be likely to change much, since the via points used to define them would probably keep the routers on track. 2. Even if it does change, the platforms are the same and the router is still preferring the fastest path between them - users are unlikely to be greatly affected. At worst, accuracy of ETAs could be affected. What I have in mind is the case of Delhi's NH9, in which a road was changed from two to four carriageways. In such a situation, with the constraint of the existing stops, routers would have to ignore the new inner carriageways and stick to the outer carriageways, which is exactly what happened on the ground 😄 If you have some other examples in mind, it would help us all to discuss their specifics. > Third, way points are more transient than ways.

To verify this, I tried deleting a stop position which was part of a route relation. Both JOSM and Vespucci warn you about the relation, and ask for confirmation. iD does not, but fortunately someone's already made an issue about it and they're considering it - https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/5846 I've added FAQ entries for all these, thanks for the feedback! I hope I'm able to address your concerns about our proposal. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
