Working on the Seattle Data Import.

Be careful not to break things along the way. Relations, of which there are many in Seattle, affect turn restrictions, the bike map, ease of maintainability, and more.

Bike routes

Please use route relations for the cycleway network, rather than tagging the underlying ways. It’s much easier to maintain, allows for richer tagging on the related route, and all around less of a hassle to deal with.

calculate ways instead of drawing or: a look at "average tracks"

This could make an interesting JOSM plugin

* What I am working on :)

Well, that’s cool…where can I find out more about this traffic service?

Curious what is being used to generate traffic awareness.

“Sidewalks”

Please use relations for routes (like the LCN), not tagging the way.

Apple... Please don't render FixMe's

@ingalls: JOSM’s history plugin should give you some idea as well.

tertiary roads, TIGER and history

Generally speaking that should be OK for county and the main forest service routes. Secondary might be a better baseline if it’s a state highway.

On Tracing from Poor Imagery

@asciiphil: Oh, cool; does it check relations or just the ref= on the way? Which takes priority?

On Tracing from Poor Imagery

Wow, what renderer is that?

diverging diamond interchange

Those are fun, there’s a few in Missouri. Oklahoma and Texas have something not too dissimilar for making U-turns on four-roadway freeways.

Sandy Blvd. should not be a designated bicycle route

Also, it should be noted that TriMet’s interns and I have been working pretty hard on getting this right, so please throw something up on the tagging or talk-us lists if you have some specific concerns; I think the folks at TriMet are still working on getting their info vetted and added right now.

Sandy Blvd. should not be a designated bicycle route

I’m not seeing it… I see bicycle=yes (which is correct) and RLIS tags indicating Metro has it as a caution_area. Outer Sandy, east of 205, shows a proposed US NCN route, which is also approximately correct, though it may ultimately take another course through Portland. I’m not showing any segment of Sandy as being designated, though I’m just glancing through right now.

Wal-Mart addition

I misread "addition" as "addiction" and it completely changed the meaning.

Bicycle parking: Sheffield stands

I had to look this up...isn't it basically a bike staple?

clothes off! :D

I wonder what a filk version of Travie McCoy's music would be like. "I want to have a billion edits, so frickin bad..."

OpenFixMap .... android app for looking OSM errors

Offline mode. I don't have a data plan, and I'm not always connected to wifi. Bonus points if macro buttons can be customized (like in osmtracker, but from within the app) so bugs could be uploaded upon connection (maybe user-configurable option "only on wifi").

Google Doc Summit 2011

I really hope that Google at some point drops Mapmaker for OSM.

render stop signs etc

Well, the current tagging scheme for stop signs is ambiguous and not all-inclusive yet.
