Status: approvedPage for proposal

A turn hazard is a section of road that turns sharply, 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 turn or the location of the signage:

  • Place a node node at the location of the turn hazard traffic sign, tagged traffic_sign=hazard (or code) + hazard=turn.
  • Tag a node node along a highway=* way way at the location of the sign
  • Tag the section way of highway=* where the turn hazard is present.
