As it reads right now, there is no caveat to preserve speed data by keeping the segments from both sides, but shortening and joining them. I taught myself a very similar technique some time ago, just by thinking the problem through and testing things, but it seems a shame that the unsplitting guide in the wiki merely advises that it might save time to preserve the half of a split road which is connected to more cross-streets.

OK. I believe I have all the content from Alan (including the video) added to the Wiki.

Please check my edits and be sure I did not leave anything out. As I was entering the data I noticed myself dozing off at the keyboard, so who knows what I typed periodically.

I first want to thank everyone for this thread. I never would have known about preserving both sides to save house numbers.
I have a procedural question. In the video I see that you merged each length of road between junctions independently. I think it would be better to pull away the side roads, remove center connectors, remove junctions and geometry nodes in the two roadways to make very long segments, and then do the merge and reconnect the side roads. First I suspect that would be faster, and second the resulting road would be smoother. No?

... and the "v" is for Volvo.
Alan, after looking at your video, I realize you use all the pieces wheres I deleted my 2 half's. Therefore, I had some missing house numbers. Thank you for the video.AlanOfTheBerg wrote:I have also verified that this process works even when the two sides of the split road have different names.

Alan, could that be added to this part of the wiki, and the text be edited accordingly?

Thank you! We point users to the wiki for practically everything, so it would be a shame for people to be following the old instructions there when a much better method has been developed.kentsmith9 wrote:I added this thread to the Wiki Maintenance page as a to-do item.

It's called a "bowtie", or a "Mapcat bowtie" after the user who originated it. Look at the Junction Style Guide page in the wiki for more info.gohamstergo wrote:Semi-dated thread, but I finally found an intersection somebody made that is a perfect example of what I was talking about.

With an intersection like this, ALL turns are controlled, without having to use "short segment" tricks, etc. I kind of like it, but....
