Direction of road not displayed #1316
Comments
Author: koying Not true for oneway roads, definitely. There must be something else, please include a screenshot. AFAIK, the "direction" of an area do not influence the inclusion/exclusion thing. But I can be wrong. Please point me to some info on the wiki if I am. |

Author: koying (In [12188]) ADD : "View" - "Show directional Arrows" menu. "Never" obviously never shows the arrows, "Always" obviously always shows them, even for non-roads. "Oneway" is the equivalent of the existing and is the default. (closes #1316) |
Author: ColinMarquardt I'm not convinced about this preference. I would have expected that setting to be available in the style editor: highway=* would get a setting of "oneway", waterway=* and maybe a ski piste etc. would get "always", and all the other ones "never". If you still want to let the user display arrows all the time or never, this could be selected in the Preferences dialog, but filling up the limited menu space seems unnecessary. |
Author: ColinMarquardt Ok, coastlines should also always get arrows, but my point still stands. |
Author: koying I don't think this belong to the style editor. As pointed out by this reporter and the other, this is especially (only?) useful for technical reasons (coastlines, river banks). As such, I put it in the menu because I think this is a settings you would only occasionally set, for short-time, very specific editing. I agree this clutters the menu, however I rather consider the preferences dialog to be for "long-term" preferences. OTOH, I definitely agree a similar "long-term" setting should appear in the style editor (for roads, ...). While working on this, I noticed there is a setting in the .mas files, not editable thru the editor. |

Yes, but it's not possible to set that setting to "always". As a mental note, natural=cliff should also get that "always" setting since it's direction dependent without being a oneway road. |
Author: Nybbler Just a note: I initially submitted this bug because there is no direction arrow when the road has "highway=road" (which is drawn as a very thin line, which I also find annoying). So when the road is residential/secondary/... the arrows are visible. |

Ah. So the setting of drawTrafficDirectionMarks should be "yes" by default, i.e. when the style doesn't override it. In your specific case, I assume you are using the classic style? Since that doesn't have a definition for "highway=road", it does show up unstyled. Is switching to Mapnik(Plus) an option? I could also add a highway=road to Classic.mas, but I'd rather it was fixed in the code. |

Ah, I never thought about switching the style. Yes, with MapnikPlus I can see arrows now. Fine for me now. |
Author: Koying Original bug solved, I guess |

The direction of a road or the orientation of an area is not visible. This way you don't know if a oneway street is pointing in the correct direction or if an area is including or excluding water.
