Roundtrip and closed loop in relations
 
|
Dear List,
I have updated the roundtrip page and created the closed loop proposal in order to address the misuse of the first tag: Please let me know what you think Many thanks Best regards Francesco _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |

Please relable your "roundtrip" proposal as such. Please do not change the meaning of an established tag. roundtrip=yes|no is used about 34k times, based on a different definition, see Volker On Thu, 19 Dec 2019 at 15:18, Francesco Ansanelli <[hidden email]> wrote:

Dear Volker, I haven't change the meaning of Roundtrip, but just reworded to clarify it. Roundtrip yes is not a closed loop... Please check this discussion: Cheers Francesco Il gio 19 dic 2019, 15:40 Volker Schmidt <[hidden email]> ha scritto:

The current usage is that, "Use roundtrip=yes to indicate that the start and finish of the route are at the same location". As in a route from Paris to Milano to Frankfurt then back to Paris would be tagged as roundtrip=yes. You have edited the wiki against established usage to make it become a no. A word used as a key isn't perfect doesn't mean you can suddenly edit the wiki to change its definition without regard of all the established usage in the osm database. 在 2019年12月20日週五 01:21，Francesco Ansanelli <[hidden email]> 寫道：

The question is, current tagging respect original author intention? Unlucky Roundtrip change meaning between American and British English afaict. I've discussed also with another mapper and we agreed to fix wiki in order to avoid further misunderstandings.

Francesco, you have changed the meaning of the tag from inluding the possibility of a loop to exluding it. And I am aware of a number of (cycling) routes that are loops and that are tagged with roundtrip=yes accordng to the previous version of the wiki. Please revert the wiki. Furthermore with your new defintion practially or at least many cycle routes are roundrip routes even though everyone would consdere them as linear routes. Nearly all "linear" bicycle routes to which I contributed can be ridden as roundtrip in the sense that they are signposted in both directions, and care has been taken in those sections where the forward and the backward route are different by using the foreward|backward roles. The (fewer) routes with loop geometry as well can be ridden in either direction. Volker

IMHO we should discourage the roundtrip tag altogether and establish alternative tags for the cases that should be covered (loops and back and forth or oneway) if they are required.

If a route ends where it begins, it's a roundtrip, but you don't need to tag that because it's in the relation. The only thing I find useful is tagging roundtrip=yes when the route is not a true closed loop, but still catalogues for hikers as a roundtrip, even though it may have branches and shortcuts.
For automated checks closed_loop=yes might come in handy. If the tag is there but the route is not a true closed loop, it needs maintenance in OSM.

So a 'roundtrip' could be a circular route that does not go from A to B and back along the same route, it could go A to B to C and then back to A via D. As such your rewording is wrong and does not match present use. Revert your change. If you want to signify a route that goes from A to B and back along the same route invent another tag, roundtrip is not it. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |

Merriam Webster and some other resources you have quoted are dictionary for American English, not the variant of English used by OSM. Posts by original author of the topic on the wiki talk page have explained the meaning of the term in British English. 在 2019年12月20日週五 06:19，Francesco Ansanelli <[hidden email]> 寫道：

I have been a native British English speaker for about sixty years. A trip from A to B and then back to A, either on a fully reversed route or an alternative route, would could be described as a round trip. There is certainly no element of a curved or looping route required to make it a round trip. HTH Chris -- cheers Chris Hill (chillly) On 19/12/2019 22:48, Phake Nick wrote:

Nor is there anything in 'round trip' to exclude a curved circular route. Would be interesting to find the origin of 'round trip'.
Oxford Dictionary (usually taken as a good source for UK English): a journey to a place and back again Nothing about 'over the same route'.
You may have done that before your change. As I understand it you want to distinguish between routes that use the same route to return to the same place compared to those routes that return to the same place by a different route or at least sections are different. At present both of those are in OSMs 'roundtrip'. Would not this information be obtained by looking at the route as mapped in OSM? Is there a need to add this information? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |

The word “Rundweg” which apparently was the concept that should have been defined (IIRC our former discussions about this topic) would not correctly be translated as roundtrip, despite the similar wording. Closed loop would have my support (although I also agree that it should generally be in the geometry of the route, personally I would not bother adding a special property for it, also because I am less interested in official start and end points or “checkpoints” in the middle) Cheers Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |

Why does it make it likely? I don't see it. I think I have only used it on a public transport route. In any event .. these properties could be determined using the ways that make up the route. So why is it necessary to tag it? Is work being made for mappers that can be easily determined by the renders? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |

Sorry, Martin, not at all. I do a weekly round trip of ~38 klm - roughly 13 k down & 15 k back, mainly because I leave the Motorway at exit 92 but have to come back on at exit 95. & if the Motorway is too busy that day, I may well come home up the Highway, which will be 12 k home (but 15 minutes longer time), but it's still a "round trip" Also, what is the definition of "same way"? I travel down the southbound lanes of the Motorway & come back up the northern lanes, about 100 m's away from where I travelled down - is that the "same"?

I think roundtrip is not about the route taken, but about the transport taking you somewhere, you do your thing there, then transport back to where you started. It's more like a service kind of thing. I don't use it when the relation shows exactly what the route is. I only find it useful to indicate that a route should be regarded as a roundtrip, even though the relation contains branches, excursions or shortcuts.
For hiking, a hiking route A to B waymarked in two directions is not a roundtrip. A hiking route ending where you started when you follow one direction all the time, may be seen as a roundtrip, because the 'transport' takes you back to back to to starting point.

I think that if your return change some way (how about a one way in departure? You may not do the same segment literally) but it's almost the same route, it's completely different from a loop...

But also not the circular word...
Sorry for being "rude"... When in Rome...
I think a tag may enforce it
If you split a segment in future a validator may say route with closed_loop=yes not a loop... A Roundtrip could be simply tagged and mapped in one direction in my opinion

So all the existing round trips will have to be deleted or re-tagged with something else .. as they may not meet this definition. I know the route I have tagged round trip doers not, so to avoid incorrect data they will all have to be deleted. All the past editors who have learnt the old definition will probably continue to use it from the old definition - meaning errors will be constantly introduced. The editors may have top be rejigged too.
By that I mean renders may determine it for themselves using the OSM data? If so then this tag is of no real use. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:roundtrip#loop A bus that goes from A to B and returns 'using the same route' will have to turn around .. and that turning will not be using the same route .. so it does not meet a strict definition of 'using the same route'. There are too many problems introduced by this new definition of roundtrip. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |
