The Take

It actually does a concrete, unusual thing: edit PBFs to excise roads exposed to ALPR and then produce an OBF for offline routing in OsmAnd. The implementation leans on pyosmium/osmium-tool (the tricky bit is keeping PBF integrity) and ships as notebooks + a demo OBF, so it’s immediately useful to tinkerers but lacks a user-friendly pipeline or GUI for non-technical users.
