We're all here to learn and if you see mistakes in edits I've made, please, point them out. I'd rather learn from a mistake rather than keep making the same mistake over and over and over and over.

My definition of "local editor" is someone who lives in the area or drives through the area quite frequently.

To answer the question, no. With the previous version of this intersection (the one you reverted it back to), there were no turn restrictions needed for the intersection. When FDot put plastic bollards in, creating 2 separate turn lanes, then a turn restriction was needed for the straight lanes going westbound. I know that having a separate turn lane is the only viable option here.

> @carciofo Because I'm also a "local mapper" and that was my recollection (hence "afair" in my comment above).

If "afair" mean "as far as I remember," my question to you is how "local" of an editor are you? The 2 reasons I ask are:

a) Anyone local to Ft Lauderdale knows that this bypass opened in October of 2025 to help alleviate traffic on SE 17th St. They would also know that this intersection had gone through the major upgrade to help with the traffic coming from the bypass, as well as Miami Rd.

b) I had an editor who had never stepped foot inside of Louisiana questioning edits and jumped into discussions made by Louisiana editors and he kept saying he was a "local" editor.

Im going to fix this ice tree weekend. I believe there’s a consensus that I was right to begin with (with some minor errors). I did post photos & videos in the slack channel. I’m unable to link them here as I don’t have my laptop right now. I can upload them from the laptop and post them here.

ROTFLOL!!! Lyft just added the segment that @carciofo had removed, which I had already added.

What was the question?

I'll sometimes walk to the Chevron across the street to get a water and snack, which is how I got the original photo I put in Slack.

I'll mess with it with my hands/feet to see exactly how hard it is and the flexibility of the bollard.

Mmmmm.....my previous comment wasn't sent.

When I press "F" in a blank for a city, both "Ft Lauderdale" & "Fort Lauderdale" will pop up. I just arrow down to select the first one without really looking at what the first one is. I use both interchangeably on the computer, so that's where that comes from.

I don't remember removing the building from the car rental places. I did change the feature type to the name of the actual company, instead of just building. In the editor, it still shows as a building. I did that with 2 hotels, a gas station, and 3 car rental places. If it changed it to a point for the end user, then we have a problem, as it's showing as a building in the editor.

I know for a fact that it's a hard plastic. After that, IDK. I can mess with them this weekend, if I charge the car at that intersection.

@udarian, can you imagine if they put these as the express lane barriers? No one would run them over. They use them on the Palmetto as well. I’ve seen these popping up around FTL in dead spaces to prevent traffic from cutting through.
At the other end of the port bypass (by the convention center) they have those set up over there as well, but they’re no separating lanes. If I’m not mistaken, they also put these on the Los Olas bridge while they’re doing construction (not 100% sure about that).

I’ll go back and fix it as I’m still working on it.

I was working on it (brand new business), then picked up a ride, so I saved and meant to get back to it later. I haven’t gotten back to it. It’s a work in progress on my end.

As far as Ft Lauderdale va Fort Lauderdale, that’s a key stroke issue. I type F and the 1st two things that pop up are those. I arrow down not paying attention to what’s at the top (they’re constantly changing as I use the other version in my week job).

I’ll try to be more cognizant of that.

@cam-gerlach, I tagged you in a Slack post.

There are. I had posted about them in the Slack channel. There's a physical barrier between the left turn lanes (WB) and straight lanes (WB). There's the typical barrier that separates the EB and WB lanes, but that's not what I'm referring to. Those are on the SATIMG, while the new barriers are not.

US1 and SR84. They've done a lot of work to that intersection and how I had it set up is the only way it works. A lot of the turn and u-turn restrictions won't work via relations, as turn lanes are separated out by a physical barrier (documented in Slack).

The old way (which you currently set it up on OSM) is now broken. You can't reach US-1 south from Miami Rd anymore. I've been watching the end user router send drivers to other roads from Miami Rd to get to US-1 south, which is exactly how it should be.

Why did you remove the changes I had done to this intersection? You've gone and messed it up now. No wonder I was being told to u-turn where I can't u-turn.

I saw that you were messing with the Water Taxi route in Ft Lauderdale. Did you know that the Water Taxi route is not owned/operated by Broward County?

Why are we readding Tiger info when Tiger info should be removed?

For future reference, you can go through those gates even on the sidewalk to continue your quest. The further west you go, then you start running into gated communities where you have to enter a code or talk to a guard. Inside FTL city limits, you won't have to worry about that.
