Simplified mess

於 18 十二月 2008 由 CirceusEnglish發表。

While I have until further noticed stopped cleaning up complex intersection, the one at what is now Louis-XIV and Bourg-Royal, in Charlesbourgh, was just ridiculous.

For the record, what we have (or rather had, given I simplified it), was two streets briefly becoming grade-separated at the intersection. The result:
-Is visually indistinct and confusing both in viewing and editing mode, hence
-Is almost impossible to edit
-Gives little to no advantages regarding e.g. routing
-Is, although laudably accurate, ridiculously too detailed IMHO

It admittedly doesn't help that I needed to run a bus route that turns at this intersection.

And while we're at it, here's a stumper for ya: how would you indicate that the route does not cross itself over, but in fact makes two right angle turn at this intersection? I've rendered it with four separate segments instead of two for the time being, but I'm curious...

How about waiting for api 0.6 when the relations will become ordered, however you may need to wait for the editors to be updated to cope with the ordering of the relations.

Hey, and I thought I did a good job!
Just kidding, go ahead, those small road splits aren't worth it, but when it is a longer stretch (50m+?) I think we should correctly represent the situation in OSM.

Too bad I missed you while you were in Quebec. I haven't been very active as of late, and the winter isn't really cooperating either.
