New MapRoulette challenge idea: exit_to > destination
Vum mvexel matgedeelt de(n) 17. September 2015 op English. Lescht Aktualiséierung de(n) 28. September 2015K1wi’s recent diary showed us how the use of destination is catching up with exit_to in the US for exit sign tagging:
I am excited about this! You may recall that I am very much in favor of destination on the _link way to tag exit signs rather than exit_to on the junction node.
I’ve come up with an idea to squash the remaining exit_to-tagged nodes in the US and move the exit sign info to a destination tag.
No scripting. No funny stuff.
A MapRoulette Challenge!
This is what it would look like:
What do you think? How can the instructions be improved?
You can try it out on dev.maproulette.org now.

Good point! That should definitely be explained as well. Thanks.

junction:ref=* as well! As you previously pointed out, it does obviate which direction the exit leaves the trunk or motorway!

You mean
junction:refas described here?I am not quite convinced we need it. But I do agree that it’s cleaner to have all exit info on the way rather than spread out across way and junction node.
Would require a main map style update that is probably non-trivial.

I’m pretty much convinced we need it because of the offside exit problem and navigation. However, for rendering purposes, motorway_junction’s still going to be necessary.
