Previously, unneeded nodes were reported for those used for change of elevation and road type also. I haven't re-tested.

As for me, I like having a node at the gate. It makes it easier to find the point of access control between the public side and the private side even though there might be no reason to drive up to the gate when it is closed and it makes an "unneeded" node.

Please update the FAQ. In particular, it should not use the word flashing.

I still receive this warning for segments with very distinct paths, often with one being much longer than the other. I think Kent is correct. It matters when the geometry of one segment is completely overlapped by the geometry of other segments. If the segments are several meters apart, then one cannot hide the other.

A segment which has a geometry point at least 5 m from any point along any other segment cannot be hidden by that segment.

I think it should not report any unless one of the junction angles is 0. I see the error when the junction angles are 90 degrees or more.

This would be quite easy to do. But it is not something that we would want where roads are classified by function not speed.

Perhaps the branch to take here is to make an api for the Validator so that people can customize what validations they want. It should be easy to insert your function CustomValidations() into the array of functions that Validator calls for each segment. People could script and share all the "validations" they like.

Let's consider first a one-way terminal loop.

What is the known navigation error in this situation?
How do you correct it?

This could be a problem because as I understand localization, the rules applicable to roads in Spain cite the Spanish wiki and the corresponding validation messages are in Spanish.

Please specify that you checked the option "Exclude non-editable segments".

A Railroad segment must not be at a junction with another type.

A Runway/taxiway segment must not be at a junction with another type.

There must not be a junction with any drivable type and any non-drivable type.

A ramp must be connected at both ends and the junction at one end must have a freeway/highway/ramp segment.
