Feedback regarding a enhancement to JOSM that will speed adding of a Grid city
Posted by baditaflorin on 27 July 2016 in English.I define a grid city as a city formed from straight roads.
You can read more and see a video where i try to explain here https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/13224
Now, if we have a matrix of 7*7 grid, we have to click almost 50 times to add the city.
With this solution, we should only add the vertical and horizontal lines, clicking 14 times, and then using the Validation, it will see that we have 49 Crossing ways, and would offer the possibility to fix, by merging the overlapping ways together

This problem is already solved. Install utilsplugin2 and use Add node at intersection command.
