Self-proclaimed “Queen of the Lights” for adding all that street light data to London’s roads. First to introduce a proper relation for the London Congestion Charge (2013), the London Low Emission Zone (2014) and the London Ultra Low Emission Zone (2019). Created Relation #4,000,000 (2014) for a London bus route.

First to make a start on a standard for the Greek Provincial Roads. First to map Bir Tawil (2013), the territory nobody wants, lest they lose the lucrative Hala’ib Triangle. First to kick off a proper attempt at making London transport nodes “public_transport” ready.


ika-chan UK-USA! is a Anglo-American subsidiary of ika-chan! industries™.
