Hello!
There is a barrier=g on https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4961054647/history that (if I checked correctly) was added in this edit

Do you know what is the meaning of this tag? Is it maybe supposed to be barrier=gate?
22024-02-01 19:45Your Village Maps Yes, that should be barrier=gate. I will fix it.

The name tag is for names, not descriptions. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

David, The section of trunk that you added expressway tags to doesn't seem to meet the US def of expressway which is a "slightly degraded" from motorway standards. In this stretch there are two at grade intersections 480th and 490th that I think break "slightly" Let me know ...

The reason I questioned is the two at grade intersections. I understand that there is a plan to achieve full motorway or expressway by a certain date, but that date isn't here yet. I can only map what I see on the ground, not what the plan is. I will defer to your better judgement on this. I ma...

Can you look into correcting it?

On this motorway portion, you think a proposed=motorway, highway=trunk would be a good compromise?

32020-09-05 22:03Your Village Maps It's true that there is only ONE actual interchange on this stretch, but the entire length now mapped as motorway has all the motorway features (overpasses and underpasses of lesser roads, dead-end country roads that used to cross the highway, etc.)
42020-09-05 22:05Your Village Maps And I did intentionally leave that bit of it just east of Southeast 100th Avenue as Trunk as it has those characteristics (left and right turn lanes, so part of the intersection). That's why I didn't map it as motorway all the way to Southeast 100th Avenue.

Hi,
what is the meaning of the
"alt_" keys on this node? If there are two amenities, they have to be mapped using separated notes. The 'alt_' tags are not recognized by any software.
