Query a region for street data

wget -O test.osm "https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=-73.2912,41.1319,-73.2717,41.1459"

Find adjacent roads

1. Start with a geo location

[out:json];
(
  way
  (around:100,41.1387123,-73.2758326)
  [highway~"^(primary|secondary|tertiary|residential)$"]
  [name];
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

2. Find the closest road <way id=""> where the name matches.
3. Now find connected roads. This entity contains <nd ref="">. Those reference ids will match up with intersections with other roads. There are also lat/lon coordinates for each ref. The refs in order are the points for the road and are a straight line. For example for "River Steet" <wav id="10166782" the refs are 83925660 (Harbor Road), 3987329574 (bend), 83925658 (bend), 2031064506 (bend), 6538386660 (River Lane), 2031064511 (bend), 83925656 (Cardinal Hill), 83925654 (Taintor), 2200024065 (Post Road)

Ex: with traffic signal

[out:json];
(
	way(121787428);
	node(w);
	way[highway](bn);
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

Ex: with bicycle

[out:json];
(
	way(102033264);
	node(w);
	way[highway](bn);
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

Routing Considerations

• Minimize traffic signal crossings

<node id="83989035" lat="41.1412430" lon="-73.2630555">
  <tag k="highway" v="traffic_signals"/>
</node>

• Maximize foot path or bycycle or sidewalk

<tag k="bicycle" v="yes"/>
<tag k="foot" v="yes"/>
<tag k="sidewalk" v="right"/>
