Turn Restriction

A Turn Restriction provides line geometry that indicates turn restrictions for the given Transport Link (e.g. No right turn, No U turn).

Where the Turn Restriction applies to specific vehicle types (e.g. bus, HGV), this is identified by the corresponding separate attributes as described below.

Feature type attributes

The following sub-sections provide details about the attributes included with this feature type, their data types in the different output formats, and other important metadata about them.

For more information about the Turn Restriction Feature Type please read the Turn Restriction overview page in the OS MRN Overview.

relationid

except

Specifies the vehicle types for which the turn restriction does not apply. Multiple vehicle types will be seperated.

• Data Types: String (GPKG), String (PBF)

to

The wayid of the last TransportLink involved in the turn restriction.

via

A list of wayid's (and/or nodeid's). When there are only two links involved in the turn restriction, via is the node at the junction at which the turn restriction applies. When there are more than two links involved in the turn restriction, via is a list of all links which are not the from or to link.
