Improve OSM Improved - and now with Turn Restrictions | It seems like the vast majority of turn restrictions on ImproveOSM in the Greater Toronto Area are false positives. Most of them are u-turns which few people are making but as far as I can tell most of them have no sign prohibiting them. Most of the turn restrictions in Toronto are only at specific times and you need to do a survey (or use Mapillary) to find them. Also I found a strange false positive at Lake Shore and Strachan in Toronto where there is a right turn ramp westbound but it looks like there is no sign prohibiting turning right without the right turn ramp (see Mapillary). I did find a highway overpass that was incorrectly glued to a highway at Highway 403 and Highway 24 near Brantford though, which I fixed. |

New Telenav tool: Fix missing and wrong one-way streets | There are a lot of false positives caused by highway offramps leading to and from a two way road (most often, a service road parallel to the highway). Most of the traffic is going one way, but it is possible to go the other way. |

Yet another noname layer ... |

Google Maps guilty in France of abusing the dominant position of its mapping service | "Wikipedia accused of using its dominant position to unfairly compete with Encyclopedia Britannica". This is not a crime. |

Severely Pissed Off | This user has made minor edits to all the fire hydrants in my area (Toronto). Thus making them non-ODBL compliant. |

Lonely no-entry signs | Often there will be a very short stretch of one way road in these circumstances (i.e. there will be a short section of road that is narrowed so that there is only one car lane). In this case, I would use a one way tag. If there is only a do not enter sign but the road is not one way and the road is wide enough for 2 cars to pass then use a turn restriction. In some cases I have seen do not enter signs which only apply at certain times of day e.g. to side streets off Eglinton Avenue West in Toronto. These are basically turn restrictions. |
