The mapping conventions for Lutang.

Transport

Roads

Lutang's expressways (motorways) are numbered EN. These numbers are incremented and are thus in order of expressway construction.

National roads that are not expressways begin with NN. The most important roads (trunks) are N1 to 30. Anything past 30 is a primary road. For N numbers, north-south roads use even numbers while west-east ones use odd numbers. Diagonal roads can use either an odd or even number.

Roads may have additional province-specific designations (AA-N) in addition to their National N number. Secondaries link smaller towns and villages and are used as main streets in large cities, while tertiaries are used for the main roads of gated communities. Finally, there is residential; which is for access to residential buildings. Unclassified roads render the same as residentials, but are used when there is no residence along a street.

Spacing

When roads are represented by two parallel ways; a certain amount of spacing is expected.

highway	min distance, meters
motorway	32
trunk	20
primary	18
secondary	16
tertiary	16
residential	14
unclassified	14

Trains

Lutang's railway network uses 1435mm standard gauge. The distance between the platform edge and track centerline should be at least 1.8m, for loading gauge.

Lutang Lines, the passenger railroad company has electrified most of its network.

The four freight companies of Lutang are:

• Batis Island Railroad (BIR), serving Batis Island
• Huntsman Rail (HR), serving Huntsman Island
• Gahak & Siritangan Railway (GSR), serving the northern portion of Main Island
• Solidago & Araminta Railway (SAR), serving the southern portion of Main Island

All four run their own private lines. GSR and SAR run trains on LL tracks, where LL trains are prioritized. LL services on Batis & Huntsman run on BIR & HR tracks respectively; where freight has priority. Outside of the Lutang Lines network; tracks are mostly unelectrified. LL's electrification is 25kv 60hz overhead line.

Buses

Bus stations should be named after the place they primarily serve. Prefixes are also added. Write them out in full, no abbreviations.

• Opposite, or Opp. for the other side of the road. The Lutang Mapping Authority has a bus station outside it; and across the road is a station named "Opposite Lutang Mapping Authority".

This website has information on the Singapore bus system; which is a major source of inspiration for the Bagong Bandila bus network.

Relations

Naming

• Transport route relations should be formatted as: "LINE_NAME - START --> END".
• Route relations should be named as "<ref> <start> --> <end>".
  • Adding "(<A>)" at the end where A is a province, city, or completely arbitrary division is OK if routes must be expressed by more than 1 relation due to node count or other considerations.

Route master

Network relations should not be used. Rather, simply use network tags on routes & route masters.

• Lutang Expressways for the expressways which start with E
• Lutang Trunks for the trunks that start with N
