Bicycling trips not allowing walking #505

Closed grant-humphries closed 13 years ago

grant-humphries commented 13 years ago

Was testing a trip that I take occasionally take in SW Portland and the router won't tell the user to hop off their bike and walk it down a couple hundred foot path which provides a huge short cut, instead the the cyclist is told to bike 1.8 miles.

The tags on the foot path are:

highway=footway bicycle=dismount surface=gravel

A small portion that has a bridge has bridge=yes, layer=1 tags in addition to those above. Another factor to this path is that while it is short, it is quite steep. It goes down 50 to 100 feet in elevation to the bridge and then back up that 50 to 100 feet to get to the road on the other side. Here's the link for the trip (and the settings are bike only and safest trip):

Could be related to the parameter matching issues also?

This seems to be more systematic of a problem... in several cases I'm finding long cycling routes (or sometimes transit routes) vs. getting off the bike for a short walk. I think it may be that the reluctance to switch to walking is too high. This is causing some really strange behavior at transit centers...

This is actually caused by the high walkReluctance. I'm going to try to adjust it and see what happens.

I just set it down from 40 to 20, which fixes this case (30 would have fixed this case too) but doesn't break any of the trips from #471. Let me know how it works out.
