Re: how to edit two ways roads junctions?

Post by zadigre
roads are working well in this area (except maybe for the possible u-turns)... and Google maps has the same configuration in this section.

I will look at this and change as little as possible to make sure no segments information are lost.

Google Maps is far from perfect... but usually, it very good in North America (at least where I've used in Canada and the USA).

If you follow Boul du Séminaire Nord south from that intersection, you'll see several different styles of junctions. All of which can be greatly simplified by unsplitting the side streets (but this isn't something a level 1 should tackle with out assistance, as the work has to be done in a particular method to preserve some underlying data.

Canada is on the NA Infrastructure (along with the US), and I think that the connections have to be less than 10m to prevent a U-Turn, but I'm not sure...
thanks for your feedback...

do you think it's worth it to "report" this area to the proper forum section so some that knows what he's doing could fix everything?

I just fixed some obvious errors (like u-turn not allowed or not recommanded at all for "important" segments)... but I don't want to mess with unsplitting segments (at least not for now).

you mean linking the segments from the side streets right in the middle or farther point of the main split street?

I did this once for a split road that had the two segments more than 15m away (it was not possible to keep them under 15m)... and it worked really fine.

Waze should add a section for this type of junctions in the wiki...
it would be quite easier if we had a clear picture of what should and shouldn't be done in those situations.

this is simple and clear... but it does not cover the situation when two dual carriageway roads intersect.

That is true. I think we expect people to extrapolate, or think things like "this could apply to my situation, too" kind of stuff. Maybe the page could be updated with some more examples.
thanks for your feedback...

I'm learning more an more everyday...
I don't think I will be more than level 1 (or maybe 2 if they upgrade my level) in the future... but at least, I will do a better job with all the feedback I got.
