Hi,

About this: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1205663877

landuse=area is nonsense! Have you ever seen landuse which is NOT an area?
Please read this:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features#Landuse
landuse=* should describe the type of landuse, not its dimensions.

Hello
Why was this ramp tagged as a path?
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/38176253
Is the ramp being demolished?
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix
22025-02-15 21:36RoadGeek_MD99 You're right. I've changed these ramps to demolished or abandoned:highway= motorway_links and removed the other tags.
