Mapping exit numbers and destinations in Canada #220

Description

@manoharuss

In an effort to make OpenStreetMap more navigable and accurate in guidance, we have previously worked on adding turn restrictions in Canada. We are now focussing on adding missing exit numbers and destinations in these 5 Cities of Canada:

  1. Ottawa
  2. Toronto
  3. Vancouver
  4. Montreal
  5. Calgary

Features to map: Highway Exit Numbers and Destinations

Estimated features to map: To be calculated

Estimated time to map: To be calculated

Sources: We are only using Mapillary as the source to refer exit numbers and destinations.

Mapping Workflow

Tasking Manager: Task Link

In tandem with tasking manager, we are using k1wiosm's Checkautopista2 tool to map on each highway in the cities mentioned above. To understand how to use Checkautopista2 tool to map exit numbers and destinations, please refer to the detailed workflow guide here.

  • Mark the highway as DONE if it has been completely mapped and if the resources to map the highway are not sufficient, comment on the task stating the reason: No resources/ No Mapillary coverage.

JOSM Filters:
These below filters can be used to ease work in JOSM editor.

  • Filter out non road features with boundary: | leisure: | landuse: | waterway: | amenity: | natural: | building:
  • Add inverse filter: highway=motorway | motorway_link | trunk| trunk_link | primary | secondary | tertiary
