I’m using the OSRM trip service that works great for me. Only problem I have is that for some of my routes, I need to avoid crossing the street as much as possible, normally try to go on one side of the street and then come back on the other.
Anyone know if I can achieve this by changing the foot.lua profile? If yes, could you point me on the right direction
(I’m not familiar with OSRM at all but) it might help if you linked to the area that you’re creating routes in - in particular it would be interesting to see how sidewalks are mapped there.
In the German sub-forum someone introduced a “safe pedestrian routing” engine one and a half years ago. It does what you are asking for I guess, minimizing street crossing and favoring controlled crossings. Unfortunately, that was only a test system for Germany, Austria and Switzerland and the project has gone very silent since the initial setup.
