subdividing edges based on a maximum length

Question

Is there any way in osmnx or networkx to subdivide/resample/split street edges based on a maximum length?

I'm doing shortest path routing based on addresses, but my maps often don't have enough node resolution to put a node close enough to each address. Subdividing edges would allow me to insert more nodes.

Check out this OSMnx PR which includes some discussion of subdividing edges into 50 meter chunks.

In particular, you can use OSMnx's redistribute_vertices function which borrows logic from this stackoverflow QA.
