Avoid motorways with motorroad=yes

[devemux86]

There is the tag motorroad=yes in OpenStreetMap database.

More details: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:motorroad

The driving profiles by @poutnikl use this tag in the avoid motorways option.

Should we also use it in Cruiser driving profile in the avoid motorways option?

I would vote yes for that proposal.
At least in Austria this "motorroad" classification is fully applicable to "avoid motorways"...

[DolomitesTom]

Yes with the 5 gradations.

[devemux86]

Should we also use it in Cruiser driving profile in the avoid motorways option?

Available in Cruiser 5.0.2-b5.

Would it be possible to distinguish between toll roads (Switzerland (vignette)) and normal motorway tolls (France)?

[devemux86]

Routing works with the OpenStreetMap tags. What tags do you mean?

Also routing is global for all countries.

[Leeb64]

If you want to drive on Swiss or Austrian motorways you need a vignette.
You buy this thing and can use all highways (for a year/month).
In France I basically pay for every kilometer I drive.
I don't know whether the OSM maps make this distinction.

If I understand correctly, the exclusion of motorways will affect other roads tagged motorroad=yes?

If so, it is probably not a good solution. In my area the vast majority of trunk is tagged as motorroad. So they are excluded on a par with motorway. It can be confusing!

But even worse, I also found primary and even secondary tagged motorroad=yes(!). I suggest you to check your neighbourhoods by simple queries on overpass-turbo.eu: e.g.
highway!=trunk AND highway!=motorway AND highway!=trunk_link AND highway!=motorway_link AND motorroad=yes IN [your area]
This will showcase non-motorways and non-trunks (something doesn't work out for me using regular expressions for "_link" 🙂) tagged as motorroad.

[devemux86]

We should all study the OpenStreetMap detailed description and test what happens.
Then we can decide if we really want it or not.

Remember that @poutnikl profiles (used by many) have it in avoid motorways.

You can also test it on BRouter website.

I tested on Cruiser b2 vs b6. With the motorways avoidance setting set to 5/5, the rest of the roads set to OFF.

It is obvious that a primary category road (red 20) has been excluded in b6. Even if this is a rare case, it shouldn't be like this.

5.0.2-b2 vs -b6

[devemux86]

As it can be confusing to mix different types of roads, let's not use this tag.

In any case, I will leave thε profile here if anyone wants to do more testing:
