Drive around in Paris and avoid ways named after men!
My route planner now has a Parisian edition:
https://osrm.findvej.dk/paris/
Data is based on #OpenStreetMap extract for Paris where every street with the tag "name:etymology:wikidata" is compared to the corresponding item in Wikidata which has gender specified. Streets named after men are marked il the extract.
Finally a custom #OSRM plan is created that ignores these roads.
@brodersen very nice !
It looks like some men related names are still there in the graph... Bd Saint-Germain, Saint-Michel, Saint-Marcel (all "Saint")
@cquest There are definitely streets that haven't been mapped with that information yet. Or some of the information in Wikidata might not be correct. I was just surprised that after working so much for that topic in Denmark where almost no names were registered with etymology three years ago that so much was already mapped up in Paris.
I'm just in Paris for vacation, and obviously I couldn't help myself while I'm here :-)
