Avoiding roundabouts

[Александър Чеширов]

Ok, I'm one of these who doesn't like roundabouts. I found a way to make osmand to avoid them but I don't want to fully avoid it.

I want to make osmand to give them less priority. I mean if it could avoid a roundabaout without adding many km and time to the route then avoid it.

So, I in my routing.xml.

I added new config button:

<parameter id="avoid_roundabout" name="Avoid Roundabout" description="Avoid Roundabout" type="boolean"/>

and in the <way attribute="priority"> I have added:

<if param="avoid_roundabout">
    <select value="-1.5" t="junction" v="roundabout"/>
</if>

but the only thing I achieved is that osmand circles 2 times in a roundabout. :D

I have tried many values but I can't make it that I want to. Do you have any suggestions?

However guys, I figured it out. :P

Please share. 

Maybe there are others who want to use it.

Ok then.

First, you need to download the routing.xml file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/master/routing/routing.xml

Open it with notepad to edit it.

First, you need to add 2 new checkboxes to the option menu.

There is it:

<parameter id="less_roundabout" name="Less Roundabouts" description="Less Roundabouts" type="boolean"/>

<parameter id="avoid_roundabout" name="Fully Avoid Roundabouts" description="Fully Avoid Roundabouts" type="boolean"/>

Add these 2 lines above just after this one:

<parameter id="avoid_shuttle_train" name="Avoid Shuttle Trains" description="Avoid Shuttle Trains" type="boolean"/>

Ok, next, find this:

<select value="-1" t="route" v="shuttle_train">

<if param="avoid_shuttle_train"/>

</select>

and after it add:

<select value="-1" t="junction" v="roundabout">

<if param="avoid_roundabout"/>

</select>

After that, find this line:

<way attribute="penalty_transition">

and add this after it:

<if param="less_roundabout">

<select value="240" t="junction" v="roundabout"/>

</if>

And that's it.

Now just safe the file and upload it to your smartphone (sdcard/osmand/).

Of course you have to reload the osmand app.

When you start the app you have to check to avoid roundabouts. :)

Very clever, but I am curious; what is bad about roundabouts? Here, they're fantastic!

Nothing, they are just confusing for some people. :D

@Andrew: If you like roundabouts so much then please use Alex' first option. That allows you to circle the roundabout twice 

:D

Like a photo of a gigantic UK city roundabout  with 5 junctions,
where each junction was implemented as a small roundabout.

Combined with left line UK driving - it was a nightmare to be placed there....
