On implied turn restrictions and armchair mapping | dale_p: I can find no basis in law for that passage in the Florida Driver’s Handbook. compdude: what other drivers? Those stopped at the light? |

mapping the greyhound. | If Greyhound stops on the corner with no real infrastructure of its own, that’s highway=bus_stop (or whatever the new scheme says). If they have a separate building, that’s amenity=bus_station. Individual bus bays within the station are highway=bus_stop. See here (which is a local public bus station, but the idea is the same): osm.org/browse/relation/1209090 |

Potlatch 2 simple mode hides too much | What patch? I don’t program. |
|
"Sierra Mountains"? | And none of those is called “Sierra Mountains”. Was there a point to your comment? |
|
Can someone explain this routing problem? | Huh? Whatever these ‘small components’ are supposed to be, they’re certainly not clustered around the routing. |
|
Say what? | Not usually named after one of its tenants, that is. Generally only named as such if that tenant is the owner or the primary user. |
|
Say what? | For me, it would depend on whether a customer could walk up and do business, or whether this person simply works from home and maybe invites clients over after creating a working relationship. As for the specifics, this seems to be a multi-tenant building. This can be problematic even in the case of a typical office building, but certainly a building is not named after one of its tenants. |
|
Say what? | Not I - I have no interest in arguing with a |
|
Say what? | Yes, the source makes sense. Look in the history - the building comes from an import. I suppose imports do make it easier for new users to add information… |
|
Can someone explain this routing problem? | Where are you seeing purple overlays? The only purple I see is the admin boundaries and the alternate route when you hover over the B at the top right of the route description: http://osrm.at/1sb |
|
Why abbreviation expansion bots are better than human busywork: Exhibit One | Buh? The human did change Stanley Avenue. MapQuest re-abbreviates when rendering. |
|
Can someone explain this routing problem? | Yep, it’s fixed. I don’t see any recent edits along I-80 here, so the OSRM guys may have changed something. |
|
weird rendering issue - nodes missing? | The nodes are certainly in the OSM database. But they’re somehow not in the Mapnik database. |

Sigh, I suppose it's unconstructive to complain about the actions of a huge multinational organization | Why are you trying to get me to leave? |
|
Sigh, I suppose it's unconstructive to complain about the actions of a huge multinational organization | Again? I’m talking about the OSMF and this bloody ‘redaction’. |
|
Is Michigan lucky? | It's a county-by-county thing. Where the counties contributed good data to TIGER, the TIGER data is good. |

Moved to Maugansville, MD | If you want to add an existing relation, such as for I-81 in Pennsylvania, find it on osm.wiki/Interstate_Highways_Relations, get the number (183751), click the way, click the middle button on the right side above the plus, type the number into the text box and find that relation, and add it.
It's easier to use JOSM though. Once you have the ref tags added (through Potlatch if you prefer), download and open a file like http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/*%5bref=*%5d%5bbbox=-78,39,-77,40%5d (play with the bbox to get an appropriate size). If the relation appears in the relation box on the right, hit ctrl-F and find type:way ref="I-81" -child ref=81; if it doesn't appear on the right, you don't need the last part. If necessary, add the relation by clicking the 'j' link on the wiki page (make sure you have the remote plugin enabled). Then add the ways to the relation. If you need to create a relation, simply click an existing one and then hit the middle (copy) button, changing the route number.

Florida state roads now complete | [edit] It would also be nice to see shields placed by relations, so they can be better-spaced (right now, a route split into many ways will have more shields than one represented by one way). I understand this is being worked on but there have been a few problems. |
|
Florida state roads now complete | Honestly, I think the rounded rectangle is best for state roads; although they should be, not all state shields are as easy to read, which is a problem on the limited resolution of a map. U.S. and Interstate Highways and county roads should definitely use different shapes - the actual ones, perhaps simplified slightly, are fine. But for state roads, shields like Colorado's and Louisiana's squish the number into too small of an area. |

What on earth is this? | Why doesn't this match the aerial? Do they move it slightly every year? |
