Congressional Avenue missing U-turn Slots
Posted by backpacking philippines on 11 February 2011 in English.since i've fixed routing from roosevelt munoz to makati, looking beyond my home turf and usual route for possible errors. i usually find routing errors from dual-carriage roads with missing crossings and u-turn slots. last time i found them on the short stretch of Samsom road and McArthur highway (still uncorrected)
this time I noticed Congressional avenue has missing slots too. I already added the missing road link to cagayan with a traffic light (with a possible turn restriction but i've yet to add pending verification) but there's one missing u-turm slot used by Proj 8 jeeps to get to Shorthorn. will look for it the next time i go to Holy Cross in Novaliches or probably peek into Bing to reveal it for the slot usually has a jam of vehicles waiting to make the u-turn

you might be able to track down the deleted segment by clicking on a node that was in the deleted segment. When you added the u turn, you would have created a pair of nodes on the two connected ways and those two nodes should be on the two motorways still.
in potlatch 2, you can click on a node and get the history of the node, and find the changeset where that node was created... the find the deleted segment from that changeset, and who deleted the u-turn.
It might help to point out to them that the u-turns are actually there. I'm guessing it's someone who is using the keepright.ipax.at website to identify 'problem areas' and keepright flags service roads connected to motorways as a 'problem'.. so maybe someone was trying to 'fix' something reported by keepright. /just speculating.
