[mkgmap-dev] STOP signs and routing

Mon Sep 20 11:43:30 BST 2010

A thread for improving routing gave this suggestion in the points style.

highway=traffic_signals { add mkgmap:road-speed = '-2'; add
mkgmap:road-speed-min = '1' }
highway=crossing { add mkgmap:road-speed = '-1'; add
mkgmap:road-speed-min = '1' }
highway=stop { add mkgmap:road-speed = '-2'; add mkgmap:road-speed-min = '1' }
traffic_calming=* { add mkgmap:road-speed = '-2'; add
mkgmap:road-speed-min = '1' }
barrier=toll_booth { add mkgmap:road-speed = '-2'; add
mkgmap:road-speed-min = '1' }

The reduces the road speed of the way with the traffic_signal node.
I haven't tested fully but it seems to improve time calculation.
