Red turn
Use a variation of red_turn if crossing a traffic signal in a specific direction is allowed even if it is red.
How to map
This tagging scheme conflates distinct maneuvers (yielding versus stopping before turning). See the talk page for discussions about alternative tagging schemes. |
- Start with the base key
red_turn
, - then add direction of the allowed movement (
:left
, or:right
) - then if needed add the class of vehicle it applies to (
:bicycle
).
Unless the values are the same in all directions, you should make sure the individual traffic signals are mapped (as opposed to tagging just the intersection with highway=traffic_signals).
In this context, left/right is understood as the turn direction as seen by the vehicle. Don't confuse with the left/right side of the road which is always seen in the direction of the OSM way.
Examples
red_turn:right:bicycle=yes or red_turn:right=yes when on a cycleway
[Proposed] red_turn:straight:bicycle=yes (see talk page)
Usage
red_turn:right
red_turn:right:bicycle
red_turn:left
red_turn:left:bicycle
red_turn:straight
red_turn:straight:bicycle
Alternatives
In France, many of these are mapped as a relation of type=restriction with restriction:bicycle=give_way, with a 'from', 'via' and 'to' role. More info (in French). Also see the Talk section of this page.
In Austria, some are mapped as relation type=restriction with restriction:bicycle=stop.
