Overlapping segments, etc.

Just ripe for some extensive cleanup work!

This is not such a large place but is this a candidate for a Map Raid?

I’d love to help but the problem with an open request like this is that most normal editors only have rights where they drive. It hasn’t happened yet but I’ve been invited to participate in a MapRaid. I assume that permission will be granted somehow to edit wherever the location is chosen.

Hi,

Indeed so - Once you decide that a certain area should be raided, and you gather a commando team of editors (novice and veteran) and decide on the dates, we will give any editor AM permissions to edit within the area of the raid, only for the time the raid takes place.

Once you’re ready, please fill in this form - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1luxTBzfR7Vt2MHAD_1sIq4q6zxcznRLZL_nmXuC82LI/viewform

Thanks,

I did alittle cleaning tonight, Wow so many overlaps…I think this is where all the Wrong Directions are coming from. Overlaps mean I couldn’t see turn restrictions…got a few cleaned up. Mike-e

I believe, most if not all of Port Colbourne is cleaned up. In the last few days between oldirtyhaulin and myself (and maybe others but I noticed oldirtyhaulin). I am making my way through to check for any missed turns, elevation mistakes, road names etc, and correcting as I go along.

Thanks,

I have gone through and done a little bit.

Some things I have noticed for you mike-e:

Here a lot of the roads/driveways have been split. They really aren’t needed. Some could argue that the addresses are on different sides of the median, but I am not a fan of it. It looks ugly on the client.

Another thing to look for is places snapped to roads. Most places can overlap a road with the exception of parking lot and gas station places because those mess with road speed data. But even then you generally try to avoid it.

If you use “Shift+Z” it will make disallowed turns pop up, there were many that shouldn’t have been disallowed. I cleaned some up, but I am sure there are plenty more.

Lastly, if you don’t run the user script “Validator” I highly suggest you do so. It makes the map all colorful where ever there are many issues. I still see some as I pan around, but am trying to leave some for you guys.

Please feel free to message me if you ever have any questions.
