Routing issue in OsmAnd (sh.itjust.works)

Hey guys,

Maybe the wrong place to post as it could be an OsmAnd routing problem. But just in case it's an OSM problem:

Right here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-31.942/115.85185 Is an off ramp into a regular street. However when going from the off ramp I get routed onto the BUS lane rather than going straight through:

Green line is expected but it takes me along the red line, which is a right onto a different street, then left onto a bus lane then onto the road I want.

Thanks guys

Can you give more information on the exact location and route? For the life of me I can't match your OsmAnd screenshot to the OSM online map. I can identify Newcastle St and the #60 highway, but I, for example, can't see where the dark green road is.

For some reason I can't attach a picture, so I'll try and describe it. If you can find those two roads, then they should just be at the intersection,but you may need to zoom in quite a bit, it's a very small bus road that comes from somewhere in between the #2 on and off ramp. #2 raps are the red ones in the screenshot

Ah, ok, got it now. I couldn't zoom in enough on the map itself, I had to go into the editor.

However that bus lane seems to be tagged correctly, so OsmAnd should never be routing over it. I tried it on my phone and it routed correctly.

I can only suggest to post in a more official community such as Github Discussions. Try making a screen shot of OsmAnd actually routing along there. Also add following link to the bus lane: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/706585631

It's not exactly correct tag, I mean not the most common, I haven't found any documentation about motor_vehicle=bus. The preferred tagging should be motor_vehicle=no with bus=designated or psv=designated. These two combinations are more common than this one, it's possible that osmand developers didn't care about this rare tag.

Also the small triangle shouldn't exist, the bus road should end at the intersection of the other two roads.

@beppi@sh.itjust.works So i not just osmand, the map isn't perfect as well.
