Today's fun with OpenStreetMap and route planners: A route planner for Denmark that refuses to drive on roads named after men.

About 40,000 Danish roads (= 35 % af all Danish roads) have been tagged with name:etymology:wikidata to tag into Wikidata's structured content.

Other ideas for funny restrictions? Roads named after politicians of specific political parties? Roads named after royals? (¡Viva la revolución!) Roads named after Swedes?

I'm still testing out stuff, but the service will probably be available online for public use one of these days.

It is simply based on OSRM, an OSM dump of Denmark from Geofabrik, a local script to update the OSM file with extra tags for matched roads based on a database lookup with the Wikidata content as well, and a custom .lua file for OSRM to prevent using roads with the extra tags.
