Trimming road end at the intersection?

Geographic Information Systems Asked by Zoran Petrović on December 4, 2020

I have a road centerline that I have used to create buffers that represent road area. Now I need to fix the intersections. As you can see on the picture, if the road end is touching the non-end of the other road, I need to trim it’s road area. If road end is touching another road end, I should trim the smaller one (shorter one).

Any way to do this, preferably in QGIS?

EDIT:

  • Road areas that belong to the different centerlines must not be
    merged.
  • All roads in this case have the same classification.

One Answer

If one large buffer is acceptable, you can dissolve the boundaries of your buffers.

In Vector/ Geoprocessing/ Buffer, choose Dissolve result.
