I have noticed that since migration the minimap viewer in JOSM is no longer displaying the slippy map. it just shows the tile placeholders instead. I am wondering if I just have an incorrect setting in the preferences. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure what this conglomeration of freeway ramps this is supposed to be but here are some observations.

With Ontaro being the larger more dense city it would be assumed that Kazuya Beach would be more along the lines of a smaller city (ala as Sausalito is to San Francisco or Roseville to Sacramento)

Secondly. Kazuya Beach does not need a super-sized airports since less than 30 miles away there is a huge airport at Ontaro. If any, it would only need a small commuter or municipal airport.

Thirdly. Gobrassanya is a right side driving country, so having left side driving highways is not appropriate.

Fourthly and possibly most important, there needs to be an element of realism to the designing and layout of roads buildings and cities. Since the project is a creative one, much creative license is given, however we must also be mindful of the element of realism that must permeate the project. We want to make this as realistic as possible not just a haphazard laying out of roads or carelessly drawing over others contributions, especially in a shared territory.

Thoughts?

When making ward boundaries (or county boundaries, etc. drawing the lines will not suffice. you need to create a relation that wraps around the entire ward, county, state, and add the lines to the relation and then give the relation the tags rather than tagging the lines themselves.

Additionally … going over the same boundary line TWICE or THREE times for two or three adjoining territories is not appropriate. The same line can be drawn once and just added to the various relations after the fact. it is the proper way to draw and assign boundaries. If your boundary is a river, then just use the RIVER line as the boundary instead of drawing another line over that line, just segment the portion of the river that is the boundary and add it to the appropriate relation(s)

I cannot figure out the ramp design and left exit arrangement of this viaduct skyway. the ramps cross over themselves to the left-handed driver direction prior to coming to intersecting roads, and these ramps cross over each other which seems like an engineering nightmare. In order to allow for these ramps the viaducts would have to be extremely high to allow for two levels of crossing ramps and then a boulevard beneath that. I am also wondering what the purpose of the tandem boulevard along this corridor. Was this designed this way just because it looks cool or because it has some actual functionality. — http://opengeofiction.net/#map=17/18.77812/88.97672

When it comes to freeways/motorways. left exits should be avioded at all times. only in rare situations would a left exit be an option. Additionally the Spaghetti Maze ( http://opengeofiction.net/#map=17/18.81450/88.97951 ) interchange at A-1 and A-9 has been modified to have a ramp for free flow on to every side street rather than terminating some ramps to a traffic signal as the interchange was originally designed. all of these ramps could in practice cause driver confusion and also creates an engineering nightmare for civil engineers. Again it seems like a bit of creative overkill if you ask me.

Thirdly there are a TON of very closely spaced freeways here as well. some spaced less than one mile from each other. Again just wondering about the need for that many closely spaced freeways.
