I just writted a new post in my blog about fixing routing errors from alternativaslibres faster.

He publicado en mi perfil de Youtube un screencast en el que hago una importación de Catastro a OpenStreetMap. Al leer el procedimiento de importación oficial, parece una tarea complicada. Con este vídeo espero sacar un poco de hierro al asunto y que con ello se anime más gente a importar datos de Catastro de su localidad.

In my way into get better street tagging in Lugo city, I am using Overpass turbo to find what streets need to be tagged.

In a previous post I talk about getting parking lanes in highways in Overpass turbo, in this post I will show how I use Overpass turbo to get streets and POIs that are in need of some name:* tag.

In the next image we can see in blue what ways are in need of tagging, obtained with Overpass turbo:

For each way and node, I want to add this tags:

• name:es=* (Name in spanish)
• name:gl=* (Name in galician. This should be the same as “name=*”)
• sorting_name=* (Same as “name=*”, but putting leading articles to the end)

This is the Overpass turbo query for getting streets without all street name tags that I want:

[out:xml][timeout:25];

// get ways and nodes with name
(
  way["name"]({{bbox}}); 
  node["name"]({{bbox}}); 
);

// filter out ways with all tags ok
(
  ._ - 
  	(
   	  way._["sorting_name"]({{bbox}});
   	  way._["name:gl"]({{bbox}});
   	  way._["name:es"]({{bbox}});
    );
);

// filter out nodes with all tags ok
(
  ._ - 
  	(
   	  node._["sorting_name"]({{bbox}});
   	  node._["name:gl"]({{bbox}});
   	  node._["name:es"]({{bbox}});
    );
);

// print results
out meta;
>;
out meta qt;

Once I get this data, I use the export function in Overpass turbo to load them in JOSM and start the tagging.

I am working in add parking lanes in the highways of Lugo city. For ease the job of locating all the ways that are without the needed tags, I wrote a little Overpass turbo query, after this I load the data it in JOSM to do the tagging.

This is the Overpass query:

[out:xml][timeout:25];

// filter out ways without right or left parking lanes
(
way["highway"]["parking:lane:left"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
way["highway"]["parking:lane:right"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
);

// filter out ways with both parking lanes
( ._; - way["highway"]["parking:lane:both"~".*"]({{bbox}}); );

// filter out other type of ways 
( ._; - way[highway="pedestrian"]({{bbox}}); );
( ._; - way[highway="footway"]({{bbox}}); );
( ._; - way[highway="path"]({{bbox}}); );
( ._; - way[highway="steps"]({{bbox}}); );
( ._; - way[highway="crossing"]({{bbox}}); );
( ._; - way[service="parking_aisle"]({{bbox}}); );

// print results
out meta;
>;
out meta qt;
