Description

Description:

Returns road info in format [mapType, width, isPedestrian, texture, textureEnd, material, begPos, endPos, isBridge]

ⓘ

The bridges are special case. Only large bridges are part of Road Net. Small pedestrian bridges are not recognized as roads. Bridge `mapType` is "ROAD" so the best way to detect bridges is to check isBridge boolean. Bridges are not part of new roads and don't have the same info as other new roads, so only `mapType`, `texture` (maybe `textureEnd`), `begPos`, `endPos` and `isBridge` are updated.

• width: Number - road segment width
• isPedestrian: Boolean - when true road is for pedestrian use only
• texture: String - road segment surface texture
• textureEnd: String - road segment surface texture
