Let's have an overview of Basics of Remote Sensing
Roads are the main map features that we use for rendering navigational applications. Accurate roads representation leads not only to the well-looking map but also to a more precise navigation.
For now, most common approach for road mapping is to trace roads following their centroid. This way of tracing looks good for 2-lanes roads like unclassified and residential roads or for tracing over low-res imagery.
A Way in OSM represents road as a complex feature. First of all, it is a line that represents an object (road), which covers a specific area on the ground. In order to show the shape and contours of the road we may to draw a polygon and mark it accordingly. (See area:highway=*, [description](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Stree

If you have been playing around with the new Mapbox Studio you might be interested to know how to make a custom map with objects of your own interest from OpenStreetMap.
To make the process of creating an updating an OSM based dataset on Mapbox more seamless, I was looking into a command line based workflow that could extract OSM data from Overpass and update a Mapbox hosted dataset in one go.
highway=bus_stop
You can style your overpass results using MapCSS.
Example:
| npm is a package manager. it's a website that keeps a big catalog of software | |
| that can be installed by anyone. | |
| some of that software you use directly, but other software you use as parts. | |
| software you use directly: | |
| "bin" | |
| software you use as a dependency: |
Run the following code to extract the turn lane stats for every day.
We just need to change the dates and way attribute to turn:lanes, turn:lanes:forward and turn:lanes:backward to get individual stats in the following code.
/*
This has been generated by the overpass-turbo wizard.
The original search was:
“turn:lanes”

This is how our team works and maps in the open. Creating a wiki page helps anyone from the community to identify the team and the projects we are working on.

The IPython Notebook has two different keyboard input modes. Edit mode allows you to type code/text into a cell and is indicated by a green cell border. Command mode binds the keyboard to notebook level actions and is indicated by a grey cell border.
