KSevcik 1 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Description: Was planning a longer route to Morgan City, St Mary, LA, USA, and ABRP routed it strangely. I started poking and it looks like ABRP doesn't believe a chunk of US 90 exists. Type: Webpage planned Link to Plan: https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=151a8e38-3bdf-4757-be2d-bebca55b01d5 Replication Steps: Click plan link As you can see on the plan, the route only approaches the waypoints on the road, but never routes on the road. Here's a link to part of that highway on OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/117379972#map=17/29.70142/-91.38017 It's listed as a Trunk Road? Not sure if that's relevant, but the problematic section is where it changes from "motorway" to "trunk". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CBenson 1 Posted Monday at 09:50 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:50 PM This really looks to me to be a coding issue in OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_car&route=29.72338%2C-91.40956%3B29.69412%2C-91.34048#map=10/30.0487/-91.5076 But I can't figure out what's wrong or how to fix it.

KSevcik 1 Posted Tuesday at 12:04 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 12:04 AM So I've figured out the issue, but I don't know OSM etiquette for fixing it. The issue is that whole stretch has the tag proposed=motorway. I assume because someone thinks that's how to tag it as a proposed upgrade to the existing highway? But this breaks OSRM, per taginfo's notes on the proposed=motorway tag: I assume the fix is to just delete the proposed=motorway tag, but I've never (yet) edited OSM, and don't know if that info should be shunted to some other tag/feature. I guess the other fix is for OSRM to switch to whatever OSMaxx is doing and only ignore ways that are highway=proposed. But I expect that's a heavier lift than just fixing the data in OSM.

KSevcik 1 Posted Tuesday at 06:03 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 06:03 PM Alright, I created an OSM account and deleted the tag myself. I'm assuming that will fix it when the change propagates. Also looks like I've collected a new hobby to amuse myself with at lunch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
