Adding turn restrictions in Canada using Mapillary #213
Description
Goal
- Mapping turn-restrictions in top 5 Canadian cities using Mapillary as the source
- Cities: Ottawa, Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary
Task Workflow
Team : @mapbox/team-data
Timeline : 1 week (Estimate)
Tagging guidelines
Data sources
- Mapillary detected traffic signs via OSM navigation map and JOSM plugin
- Bing/Mapbox satellite imagery for cross verification of photograph location/bearing and turn lane markings
Process
- Two mappers can work on one city together and update the spreadsheet with their names, start and end time
- Divide the city into half based on a road/landmark and work at different parts of the city to avoid conflict
- The number of already mapped turn restrictions is given in the spreadsheet. Use the Overpass queries given in the spreadsheet to get the edit count after a city is completed
JOSM Setup
- Plugins:
- Paint Styles
- Traffic Signs : JOSM Preferences -> Map Settings -> traffic signs

I came across this issue where the mapillary signage showing
no_u_turnand it should be added via way instead of node. For this cases we should work in JOSM to add this kind of restrictions. It would be nice to have this feature iniDas well.cc @planemad @bhousel

Came across this sign which I interpreted as
no left turn on redor no free left. This is not a turn restriction. Mark asinvalid.poornibadrinath commentedon Jul 21, 2016
Mapillary has an efficient tool in iD that displays the restriction detected.
It will help in filtering out the mapillary image with the restriction in iD editor and also know which restriction has been detected.
Here's how activate the tool:
bhousel commentedon Jul 21, 2016
Yes, having turn restrictions via way in iD would be really useful.. We have an issue for it:

Since mapillary turn restrictions layer is not loading/taking a long time to load in my browser, I'm sticking to iD editor to find out mapillary turn restrictions. Also while doing this, I'm using the gpx of the boundary file so that I don't get lost outside the city boundary.

Conditional turn-restriction written in French:
These board means
Monday-Friday. Source for translation in case anyone sees any other days of the week written in French.srividyacb commentedon Jul 25, 2016
Instructions in french above the turn-restriction sign: 💭
srividyacb commentedon Jul 25, 2016
What are the usual instructions below turn-restrictions like these? The maximum words we can predict on the board is
Except Vehicles ?scruss commentedon Jul 25, 2016
You've got that Quebec is all no right turn on red, yes?

@andrewpmk Yeah right. Seeing Camosun Street joining the main highway. Adding turn-restriction to it. Thank you very much.
poornibadrinath commentedon Aug 2, 2016
So this no left restriction board is placed on Dundas Street.
Just wanted to confirm whether this restriction is for no left from Dundas Street to Beamish street (because Beamish Street is on the right side) or is it for Beamish Street to Dundas Street, or for Bloor to Beamish street since all three are different streets.
This is the restriction point that is detected.
james2432 commentedon Aug 2, 2016
I think they are warning ppl they cant cut through beamish if they want to turn left on bloor street, because you cant turn left on beamish and bloor, you can only turn right
krishnanammala commentedon Aug 2, 2016
Any Idea on what this Turn Restriction implies?
james2432 commentedon Aug 2, 2016
You must turn right(except bicycles)
poornibadrinath commentedon Aug 2, 2016
@james2432, so this restriction is for Bloor Street from Beamish Street?
james2432 commentedon Aug 2, 2016
Would seem so I interpret it as people often try taking beamish street to turn left on bloor, but can't and get pissed off. This sign seems to be a warning that there are only right turns at beamish and bloor. So if people want to do so continue on dundas for a street that will allow it
poornibadrinath commentedon Aug 2, 2016
@james2432 Thank you so much for the help! Will add the restriction.

Turn restriction task update: Out of the five cities, we only have Toronto left to finish adding turn restrictions. The other four cities: Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa are completed 🎉 The stats are being updated in the OP
CloCkWeRX commentedon Aug 6, 2016
One plugin for JOSM that may help highlight areas of interest is the improve-osm tools. Combined with mapillary photos, it would likely call out areas where road signs may not have been detected, but traffic patterns suggest there is a restriction.
See http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mvexel/diary/37571 for a bit more detail.

Turn restriction task update: Adding turn restrictions in five priority cities of Canada (Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary) is now complete! 🎉 We are now validating the turn restrictions we added during the sprint. Stats are updated in the OP
shvrm commentedon Aug 9, 2016
@gundersen - We added a total of 364 turn restrictions, and modified/improved 29 turn-restrictions as a team. Between the community and us, we contributed a total of 423 turn restrictions in five cities in Canada.
Here is a detailed breakdown.
Table 1: Breakdown of turn restrictions between Mapbox and Community
Note: Version 2 is when we modify/improve already existing mapped turn restrictions.
Table 2: Total brand new turn restrictions created during the project (No version 2)

Adding turn restrictions in Canada is completed in all priority cities. The team and community together have added 423 turn restrictions. 👏 🎉 The stats for individual cities are:
Detailed stats for all the turn restrictions we added can be found here
Also, we have completed validating all the turn restrictions added in five cities. It would be helpful to have the community look into our edits and let us know if there are any errors that we could rectify. There is a neat tool, restriction validator, which shows all the restrictions added, highlighting which ones are incorrect/correct.
It was great to have the community working alongside us in adding turn restrictions, clearing doubts, improving our workflow and suggesting better ways to add restrictions in Canada. We hope the support would continue in our next task of adding exits and destinations for all the major highways in the five priority cities of Canada.
