Proposal talk:Traffic mirror relation using ways

Other features/pages affected

(I've just started the RFC, so I'm adding this here instead of changing the proposal while the RFC is ongoing.) Both type=* and Relation:traffic mirror (plus a redirection from type=traffic_mirror to Relation:traffic mirror) should already describe the legacy usage of the relation, but they do not right now. These pages should include the proposal if it is accepted. Biff (talk) 07:57, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Legacy relations

If the proposal passes, I don't see a reason to preserve legacy relations. There are just 360 of them currently, and can be safely upgraded to the new format in a matter of hours, even manually. It only makes sense to have the same format for mirrors and turn restrictions. So I'd suggest (if others agree) just removing the backward-compatibility notes and writing a paragraph proposing how to upgrade/convert existing relations. Duja (talk) 13:03, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
