Hello,

You've changed the names and classification of roads inside intersections, again.

I've explained in a previous changeset discussion why this is incorrect.

Please review these comments and adjust your editing accordingly.

Incidentally, the page also mentions that "Sometimes the split is only because of a roundabout flare, a small island not used by pedestrians or bicyclists for crossing. In this case there is no split needed, it is sufficient to set a separate node (not the node where the way is merging into the roundabout) tagged traffic_calming=island."

You can map this just as accurately without having to go to the trouble of splitting ways. :)

Hi Scott,

Just a heads up on this edit.

The roundabout you modified at Fortress Road:

- The flares should have have names, at the moment they are not named.

-The connecting ways of a roundabout should not touch, regardless of how close they are.

It is definitely an odd one; not sure if there are any other examples in Melbourne!

Obviously significant weight should be given to the official name, and if it was simply a single operator or organisation using the alternate spelling, erring on the official name would be appropriate.

In this case, multiple Victorian Government departments, public transport operators (train + bus), local councils, and private businesses exclusively use the "Wattle Glen" spelling.

The Vicmap Transport dataset uses the Wattle Glen spelling, as does the Vicmap Overlay. Even visiting Vicnames will display the "Wattle Glen" spelling on the map.

Within the Victorian Government Gazette, the station has been repeatedly referred to as Wattle Glen when other legislation is being applied.

At some point in time, the "Wattle Glen" name looks to have been universally adopted.

Hi Ethan.

Thanks for your contributions. Would you mind sharing your sources for this change? I cannot find any official reference to this track name, or some of the other names you've added recently.

Hey Supt,

Me again.

It appears this station has been repeatedly renamed in OSM for a long time.

I understand that Wattleglen is the gazetted name of the station, and it should definitely be included as the "official_name" of the station.

But the name tag in this case should use the ground truth name, as used by locals. In this case, Wattle Glen is on the signage, the timetables, the train departure screens, bus stations, etc. It is the best tag for the "name" field.

It definitely is an unusual case!

I see where you are coming from regarding bike access. There is a "Begin Tollway" sign south of Olympic Park Oval (https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=543018103351921&focus=photo) which seems to imply that bikes can travel on Batman Avenue up until that point - but there is nothing that cyclists would be going to. Would cyclists be permitted to dismount and walk to the adjacent cycleway maybe? Cyclists could feasibly use the section to access the driveway to the service carpark behind The Glasshouse?

We could feasibly add a bicycle=no tag (or even better, bicycle=use_sidepath) to the road section as any type of highway classification to capture the lack of utility for bikes and discourage routers from using the section.

In this edit you have deleted way/995035713 and way/974937750. These segments included useful details such as turn:lanes, destination:lanes and change:lanes, which is used by routing software ti provide better navigation instructions.

There is no reason to have removed these correct details, and there is no benefit to removing valid, useful information.

A couple of this here.

Firstly, Overton Road doesn't suddenly turn into a trunk road between the carriageways of Nepean Highway. It should keep its highway designation, and certainly its name throughto the northbound carriageway; no different that if it was a through road.

Secondly This change is a really good example as to why extending the roads beyond the point of physical separation causes problems. By extending the point where Overton Road splits so far north, you've had to add a new intersection for Overton Lane. But, because you've smoothed the Overton Road slip lane as well, it's now impossible for routing software to travel south on Nepean Highway, turn left on Overton Road and then turn right onto Overton Lane.

These changes are functionally worse, and serve only to make the map less useful. Aesthetic considerations should not ever override accurate network mapping.

Hey HighRouleur.

Thanks for these edits to motorway_links across Melbourne.

I think Batman Avenue is a bit different from the some of your other changes, and best left as a trunk road. It's not really a "link" road in the traditional sense, and it is used as a service entrance to Olympic Park, etc. The "Tollway entrance" sign is about at the point where the carriageway splits as well. Thoughts?

Hello,

Thanks for the contribution. :)

As the Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit is a temporary feature, it's best if it is not mapped as though it is a permanent raceway. For the rest of the year, it's a carpark. I've adjusted the tagging slightly accordingly.

Hi Supt;

Roundabout flares shouldn't intersect, even if they are close together.

Here, you have flares for Market St intersecting with Doveton St N, and Webster intersecting Creswick.

Hey John.

Updates to the map can sometimes take a bit of time to flow through and it varies a bit due to caching and other technical quirks.

Try clearing your browser's cache, and see if that helps: osm.wiki/Browser_cache.
