This task includes identifying and updating missing turn restrictions in Boston. Improvements to the existing road network will include:
Updating street directionality (adding oneway tags)
Adding missing turn restrictions
Minor street alignments
Sources
The team will be using signals based on Microsoft StreetSide imagery that was processed by Mapbox to identify street signs indicating a possible turn restriction. (more info here: https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/349)
The team will also use all available imagery sources including Mapillary and Satellite to help to confirm directionality or turn restriction. In cases where the turn restriction cannot accurately be determined we will include a map note. .
Area of Focus
We are going to focus our efforts on Boston in the US
Tools
We will be using JOSM to do the adding and editing of roads.We will use our editing and validation workflow to help ensure accuracy with two set of eyes on every edit
