Which municipal does streets that crosses border belong to? The side with most nodes? Or both? But I need to complete both sides of the border to mark the street as complete?
I have a question about streets that crosses municipal borders.
In this screenshot you can see I completed all nodes on the side of the municipal border that Im trying to get 100% for but Virkevägen is not listed in the completed streets list to the left.
Which is kind of correct because as the street continues on the other side of the border. My question with this kind of street that crosses two regions is which municipal it belongs to. To get 100% in my own municipal I need to also finish nodes outside of the municipal if the road crosses? or?
Streets only exist within their city. None of their nodes extend beyond the city border.
This means that there can be multiple street records e.g. Virkevägen …
One in Kävlinge kommun Skåne län Virkevägen - CityStrides
One in Eslövs kommun Skåne län Virkevägen - CityStrides
When you view streets or use Node Hunter within a city page, it will only show you relevant data within that city.
When you use Node Hunter from other pages e.g. a street page like Virkevägen - CityStrides it will show you unfinished nodes on unfinished streets regardless of city … If you click on the nodes displayed from Node Hunter, it will show you which street/city they correspond to. This can be helpful to gain context in those cases where you’re on a non-city page.
Let me know if/how that helps…
Addition: Oh, also, that first screenshot is from an activity. An activity will only show completed streets that that activity completed. In your case, you did not complete Virkevägen in the displayed activity, you completed it in the prior activity (Andreas Cederström's activity on October 17, 2024 - CityStrides)
I think it should have completed “Kävlingevägen”
There is another “kävlingevägen” in the north, in the neighbor municipal and it seems one of that streets node has made it in to the municipal Im running?
However is still 2 completely different roads.
This is a valid street/node situation.
OpenStreetMap (my data source) does not have a concept of “street”, it only has Way records. A street as we understand it could be composed of several different Way records.
To build the concept of “street” in CityStrides, I took the approach of joining up all the same Way records that share the same name. This mostly works. If a city has multiple streets with the same name, though, these are all combined into one Street record.
I’ll explain how I verified this…
If you click the ‘Go’ button on that street, you’ll be taken to its page - Kävlingevägen - CityStrides - where it displays all the nodes. That far northern node is displayed as being part of this street. We can’t trust computers, so even though streets shouldn’t extend beyond the city’s border … let’s verify that …
If you click on the city name on that street page, you’re taken to Kävlinge kommun, Skåne län - CityStrides … opening up the streets tab and searching for “Kävlingevägen” lets us click its ‘Show’ button, which shows its nodes within this page.
From the default view, you’ll see that the northern node is very close to the border - zooming in pretty close, you’ll see that it is within the city border.
Looking into things a bit more… It looks like this node is shared with Krångeltoftavägen - CityStrides (its most northern node).
This looks like it would be a good/valid edit in OpenStreetMap based on this screenshot of the OSM edit page in that area:
That middle second that’s highlighted a little bit straddles the border … Instead, the two streets should split at the border, with neither overlapping. I’ll make that adjustment now, since I’m in here.
