== Crossable rest areas ==--[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 17:52, 27 September 2015 (CEST)
Hey Frank, <br> First of all, great idea! Dunno if it was yours, but I'm in awe :-) <br> Second of all: Where do you get the information from? OSM? <br> Thirdly: I imagine that there is much less service areas where you can NOT cross. True? If so, wouldn't it make sense to add a list of the no-no ones for easy reference?<br>all the best--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 15:13, 27 September 2015 (CEST)
::: The exit lists on Hitchwiki I guess are not very complete and have been made more or less haphazard. Best would be to work out everything, but do you know what a shitload of work that is. For the sake of ease I only list the crossable stations for now. Perhaps, in the future, when the lists are complete (mid 2016 ;) - other things. Adding color icons to the crossability list is an idea and perhaps not hard to implement. A service station crossable in 60 minutes makes me less happy than one which has a pedestrian bridge. But I'd rather not rate them. How would we rate service stations for both directions situated on one side of the motorway... or, even worse, situated in the middle of a junction of two motorways (Raststaette Voralpenkreuz in Austria)... ;) Probably later this year though, we (Hitchwiki) would need help of editors to fix the planned merging of Hitchwiki and Hitchwiki maps. So if you wanna help, feel most welcome. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 17:52, 27 September 2015 (CEST)
:::: hmm... I don't quite know what kid of work that involves. Also I don't know where I will be in relation to computers later this year :-) as to rating the crossability, I would vote for doing it anyway and finding a contingency for those special cases. I'd probably just either not rate same-side stations or rate them with the same symbol as a direct bridge or tunnel. then I'd have a second symbol for having to use an access road, and a symbol for not crossable. green, yellow, red. the really complicated ones I'd not rate, but explain in text. I'm not familiar with Voralpenkreuz, but just looking at OSM, where would you even want to cross to there? :-) but I get yarr point. --[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 19:43, 27 September 2015 (CEST)
