A reverse turn hazard is a section of road that turns sharply two times in opposite directions, presenting a hazard to motorists. Turns present a hazard of obscured visibility of oncoming traffic as well as a short turning radius. This tagging is applied to roads that are signed for dangerous turns and should not be applied indiscriminately to roads merely because they have a turn.
How to Map
Tagging can be applied to the section of road with the turns or the location of the signage:
- Place a node
at the location of the turn hazard traffic sign, tagged traffic_sign=hazard (or code) + hazard=turn. - Tag a node along a highway=* way
at the location of the sign - Tag the section of highway=* where the reverse turn hazard is present.
