Hi Gerd,
I think the wanted behaviour is this: 1) The change in speed should be applied to max. 25m before and after the POI or to the connection with another way, whatever comes first. 2) A POI like a barrier should not change access to the way before or after the POI, only at the POI.
The attached patch implements this changed behaviour. The type 2) POI are converted to route restrictions.
I've tested part 2) of the patch and it worked fine for me!
The patch also changes the meaning of route restrictions. In r2907 and before, route restrictions prohibit access for pedestrians and emergency, the patched version allows them by default.
Does that mean a common turn restriction from a=>b also means that pedestrians never can route a=>b?
If I hear no complains, I'll commit that next sunday.
I propose to move the link-pois-to-ways handling before merging roads. Do you think it's complicated to move it? WanMil
