Multi-deck bridges: Combine directions of travel?
I have been looking more and more at urban areas where a separated interstate or other highway "come together" in a bridge over parts of a city or water. This obviously presents some difficulty with mapping properly. In Cartouche, to be accurate to reality would make editing nearly impossible with current functionality because you can't click to the select the lower roadway. So, these appear as slightly offset roads. I'm curious about the effect of GPS tracks on these roads: will they eventually "pull together" and the roads will show as nearly being on top of each other?
So, two things: 1) this made me wish more for the ability to display by Level in Cartouche so we could truly overlap the roads, but then be able to edit in a "layered" fashion by Level.
2) Would it be any easier if this roadway were turned bi-directional for these overlapping stretches? I imagine it might turn out OK, even for routing, because you just split into 1-way road segments when appropriate both for the primary road and ramps.
I kind of want to do a proof of concept to see how it works out, but I don't live close enough to such bridge to make testing easy to do without burning a lot of gas.
What are the thoughts of the community?
