Direction confused ~on city_limit sign~ when area is glued to way with direction-node

[tordans]

Case: There is a road which is glued to the area next to it.

This is here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?way=198948464#map=20/50.81705/6.37598

The direction indicator seems to be confused by the glued area + road.

no direction:

traffic_sign:direction=backward

traffic_sign:direction=forward

traffic_sign:direction=both

Workaround:

• unglue the node, which duplicate the sign-tag to the area as well as the road.
• move them around to see both
• remove the wrong sign tag on the area
• move the road back and find a new place for the area node

I think the best thing to do here is just unglue the road from the landuse

In the spirit of documenting edge cases:

This issues does happen as well, when using area:highway with highway=traffic_signal. Ungluing those is not a good solution.

This came up in a different context as well (https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/3490280). It looks like Garmin Navis do have similar rending effects as iD. The notes talk about a Garmin navi that showed 4 traffic lights instead of one.

fyi: I just started a thread in the forum on this phenomenon.

#9013 tracks another case of this issue involving stop signs and non-roadway lines.
