This task outlines work to improve the map data in Europe. We plan to focus on improvements to the road restrictions. We'll be reviewing and mapping restriction=*.
We will message the local community and get feedback and suggestions for this project.
Improvements that will be addressed include the following:
Correcting existing turn restrictions
Adding missing turn restrictions according to local and OSM guidelines
Area of Focus is Riga, Latvia and neighboring villages until Kadaga, Carnikava in NE, cities Ogre, Baldone in S and villages Garoza, Dalbe and Ragaciems in NW
Mapping Guidelines
The team will follow OSM and local policy, along with any other guidelines as appropriate.
The team will use imagery and data sources below as needed. When in doubt, the team will use the existing tags and data which are used locally. The history in JOSM (ctrl-H) identifies what previous mappers added and their notes and/or explanations regarding changes made. This history can also show if a previous mapper has visited that area or has expert knowledge or sources.
Our team uses the hashtag #bolt for our edits.
Tools
The team will use JOSM for completing the task. JOSM has validation warnings for restrictions and other possible issues that are important to prevent improper changes.
