Which side of the street? #17

Open sutt opened 10 years ago

How to handle towing on one side of the street? Is location sensor accurate enough to tell us?

calvinmetcalf commented 10 years ago

no, especially as a lot of the data isn't going to be accurate enough about the width of the street.

I was hoping to address with #4; also, the UI results page in #8 "Maybe" relies on that, as in:

I like how the Minneapolis map specifies street side (zoom in to see it): http://www.minnpost.com/snow. Our Cambridge data at least specifies "even" or "odd" side. Maybe there's some way to programmatically figure out which side that means on the map?
