Commit: r1304: Dead end road warning level can now be specified.

Version 1304 was commited by markb on 2009-10-22 09:48:17 +0100 (Thu, 22 Oct 2009) Dead end road warning level can now be specified. --report-dead-ends=LEVEL Set the dead end road warning level. The value of LEVEL (which defaults to 1 if this option is not specified) determines those roads to report: 0 = none, 1 = multiple oneway roads that join together but go nowhere, 2 = individual oneway roads that go nowhere.

I believe that report-dead-ends: 1 is issuing a bogus error with r1308 here: 2009/10/22 22:03:07 WARNING (RouteNode): Confluence of oneway roads (Laukaantie, 38626392), (637 Laukaantie, 38626390) at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=62.29304&lon=25.81349&zoom=17 As far as I understand, the roundabout is a complete cycle, but the flare road on the south is not one v-shaped oneway, but two individual oneways. I don't think that it should complain, do you? I was about to commit some "short arc" fixes there, but I thought that it is better to leave the data alone until you can check it. BTW, I had to look up the term "confluence". Could it be replaced with more common words that non-native speakers could understand? For instance, "only oneway roads leaving a point"? Marko

Hi Marko,

I don't think it's wrong either but that roundabout was edited by someone this morning. Perhaps, they fixed a problem and your using older data with mkgmap?

Thanks, that was a good idea.

Well, confluence is such a lovely word, succinct and its meaning is perfect: Main Entry: con·flu·ence Pronunciation: \ˈkän-ˌflü-ən(t)s, kən-ˈ\ Function: noun Date: 15th century 1 : a coming or flowing together, meeting, or gathering at one point <a happy confluence of weather and scenery> 2 a : the flowing together of two or more streams b : the place of meeting of two streams c : the combined stream formed by conjunction Cheers, Mark

I just processed the latest OSM data for that junction and did not get a warning, perhaps your data was stale? Cheers, Mark

Hi Mark,
I just processed the latest OSM data for that junction and did not get a warning, perhaps your data was stale?
Thanks, we will see about that tomorrow. Actually, I did the first run on a couple of days old snapshot. With this morning's snapshot, I still get the error. The clone-off point should be around 10pm (can't remember if it was German or Finnish time), and the map should be available for download on Geofabrik's server in the morning. The warnings are great. JOSM's Validator plugin is not catching the confluence of oneways, and it can't possibly catch the roundabout direction. You see, I am already using that new word. mkgmap is serving an educational purpose as well. :-) Marko

I can't remember exactly but I think it was changed somewhere around 7-8AM this morning.

Great, now I need to find another 15 century word to describe the opposite situation where multiple oneway roads start at the same point. At the moment it just says: "Source of oneway roads" but that's boring, don't you think? Incidentally, if you specify --report-dead-ends=2 you will get a large number of warnings (certainly, the GB data has a lot). Some of those will be genuine problems that could be fixed so if you really are feeling bored and want something to do you could sift through those (for your region, of course). Cheers, Mark

If "pro" is the opposite of "con", how about profluence? :-) I would not oppose "source|sink of oneway roads". Boring but understandable. One last thing: please print the lat/lon link for these messages too: 2009/10/22 23:09:58 WARNING (StyledConverter): Splitting looped way Naavatie (OSM id 4752604) would make a zero length arc, so it will have to be pruned Best regards, Marko

The logical opposite of "confluence" is "divergence"; sadly, neither really convey sense of going to (resp. coming from) nowhere, as a routing black-hole (resp. white hole). Mmm, perhaps I've found a pair of late-20th-century terms that could suffice?
