Hi

I wish to use Overpass Turbo to search for ways that should normally be mapped as areas but are erroneously not joined ie landuse=residential.

I've looked through the (not very clear) help but can see nothing related to my query. I assume it must be possible because OT displays such ways in the thicker blue line than if they're joined?

Thanks Dave F.

Overpass API and overpass turbo really are not the right tools for this job, as you cannot query yet for any non-closed areas in the first place (it's not implemented yet). This makes the whole endeavour very challenging.

What you see in overpass turbo originates from the internal OSM -> GeoJSON conversion, but it's not possible to take that logic into account for any kind of query.

I suggest to take a look at keep right! instead. It has a "non-closed area" detection. Osmose QA probably has something similar.

Example: Keep right! example -> will mark the following way as erroneous.

It's a shame overpass isn't able to make that distinction, but Keep Right does an adequate job for what I want in this instance.

Thank you for your reply. Dave F.

Well, I guess nobody requested this feature so far --> https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/issues
