How we check a roundabout
Nothing appears here until a person has checked it against real evidence.
- Draft. A first version of the junction is read from OpenStreetMap: its shape, arms and lanes.
- Correct. A person fixes the lane counts, draws the lane paths through the circle and decides the right lane for each exit.
- Check. They compare every route with evidence we are allowed to use: their own visit, open aerial photographs, street-level photos. The kind of evidence and its date are recorded. We never use Google or Apple map imagery.
- Sign off. A second step, by a person allowed to sign off, records their name and the date. Only then does the junction appear here.
- Changes. Editing a junction makes a new draft; the checked version stays up until the new one has been checked and signed off too. Every version is kept.
Still to come: a way to tell us when something on the road has changed.
