Hi shyamalashanthi!

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! My name is Steven and I do a lot of mapping in Ealing.

I see you've been mapping pavements in Northfields and though you are free to map whatever you like, wanted to check whether you understood how pedestrian routing worked and whether adding...

Hi Steven,

While I understand your concern about maintainability or excessive details, adding pavements (as well as any other details) is perfectly fine. Mappers may have different ideas on what details are important. There's also no requirement for edits to be complete or even correct, as l...

Hi rphyrin,

Yes, absolutely there are circumstances where mapping sidewalks separately records very useful information, and other places where it adds no useful information, makes the map look crap and incomplete, and can actually complicate routing decisions.
I would argue that this particular...

Where the sidewalk is continuously adjacent to the carriageway (no big grass areas etc just an immediate kerb), and has no special access (eg shared cycleway), then the extra footway is a duplicate way. The public highway is mapped and carries the foot traffic. We don't add a second footway ...

Cebderby, I understand your point but it is still _your_ preference and opinion. Others will disagree, as it is common in all discussions about the level of detail. Please refrain from accusing others of bad mapping only because you disagree with their choices.

Also if you are going to map sidewalks as separate ways, shouldn't you then remove the sidewalk=both tag from the road, or at least tag sidewalk=separate?

My issue with this discussion is calling such changes "incorrect" or "bad mapping" when objectively they are not. I do not see why amalash would need to acknowledge that. Incomplete data are a norm - just look at this map, there are partially mapped fences or individ...

I would say this is a router issue. I am not even sure if it uses sidewalk= tags at all, it seems to fallback to any roads that don't explicitly ban pedestrians. At the same time it indeed over-prioritises footways.

The solution is to keep mapping and keep improving routers. Not to dumb down...

These pavements are buttjoined onto the road traversably. We don’t map lanes of roads separately, how are these any different? Also one participant to this conversation has been making unhelpful edits.

The latter is probably the more common (designed to keep hgvs off some roads, whether loaded or not), but the former also occurs (e.g. on weak bridges - where you also see axle limits).

I can't see 910GDIDCOTP in the current official data. I don't think
have a snap shot from 3 years ago to see what it was listed as.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6605149662#map=19/51.611220/-1.242517
is correct as it currently is "9100DIDCOTP".

Hi Tom
Is https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/12716223148 really a kissing gate blocking the entire track? A kissing gate alongside a vehicle gate seems much more likely.
Thanks Phil

Yes, you are correct. Should it be mapped as two separate nodes or just the one?
Apologies for any mistakes, I'm still relatively new to all this, so feel free to keep correcting me!

Hey Andy,

Here’s the link: https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/52996

Have a great day,

Jonathon
32025-02-28 23:17SomeoneElse Thanks. Would it be possible to ensure that changesets have some reference to the actual maproulette task? Maproulette tasks tend to be of variable quality, and it's really useful to know which changesets resulted from which one.

It is correct that VLD 296 is no longer working on our team. Apologies for the delayed response. I believe this edit was made because the road has a significant direction change at the point that it was split. Here is the challenge link https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/52996. ...

"the road has a significant direction change at the point that it was split" why road should be changed in such cases anywhere at all?
82025-02-28 22:00VLD170

Hi Mateusz,

A few reasons for splitting the road at a direction change are navigation and a better representation of the roads by improving the geometry. Additionally, It is very common for road names to change when the road has a large shift in cardinal direction.

Matt

Why it would improve navigation?

How it improves geometry?

(and yes, if name changes it should be split but because name changes not due to a sharp turn)

Upon further review of this changeset, I have determined that the edit to split the way was not necessary, as there are no indications that the road would change names at this location. I will proceed to address the issue by recombining the way accordingly. Thank you for bringing this to my attentio...

Further along, before Cadamstown, it was blocked by land owners

Hi!

I see you have updated a few roads in historic ruins in Oman using tag "digitalEgypt", was this intended? The footways were marked intentionally, what was the reason for this change?

Correct. Perhaps my changeset comment was a bit too generic. A couple minor/easy additions were made while cleaning up some features. Sorry - I get distracted too easily, hence the handful/occasional addition. Yes, it would have been added from aerial imagery.

"bicycle=yes" is the default on highway=trunk roads in the UK (and most worldwide; it's only a few countries that have decided to use an odd definition for trunk).

On the editor the default is shown as "bicycle=Not Specified" for trunk roads (exactly the same as for pavements). Primary roads are OK,

Also, odd definitions are also used in the UK. OSM uses "Trunk" for primary roads and "Primary" for bog standard A roads. In the official road hierarchy "Trunk" is applied to the the strategic highway network managed nationally - and does mot include this road.

This is not a reason to delete valid roads that are visible in the images before the conflict and will not disappear after it. Strictly speaking in this changeset only one point refers to the pontoon bridge.

Otherwise, according to this logic, we should prohibit all edits in this area

Sounds good to me. Let people map something away from the front lines. OSM doesn't need to play a role in the information war that surrounds this (or any other) military conflict.

Hello,

It seems this edit is replacing tagging that specifies repairs are for tyres with a generic `repair` tag, i.e. `tyres:repair=yes` (previously `repair=tyres`) to `repair=yes`. This has lost information about tyre repair and made it imply that the shops offer general repairs.

For me the definition in the Wiki is clear:

No, the v21 version is corretly tagged as explained above.

I appreciate that you did — I had read the discussions before, but didn't have their detailed contents front of mind when I made this edit (I guess I just internalized back then that there was a general consensus to drop "none").

I have now commented in two of the discussions...

12024-07-09 12:47SomeoneElse Hello coro85, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
It'd be really helpful if you used more words to describe your changes, rather than just "correction". It would help other mappers understand what changes you are making.
Best Regards,
Andy
22024-07-09 12:48SomeoneElse Bună, coro85 și bun venit la OpenStreetMap!
Ar fi foarte util dacă ați folosi mai multe cuvinte pentru a vă descrie modificările, mai degrabă decât doar „corecție”. I-ar ajuta pe alți cartografi să înțeleagă ce schimbări faceți.
Salutări,
Andy

Hello Andy! This is a bit new to me. True I should have done more for descriptions. Will do better going forward :) ! I did a lot of adjustments especially around tram lines - positioning, crossing with roads and pedestrian crossings. Thanks!

Hello,

This changeset has been reverted in part or full. I appreciate the enthusiasm with adding railways, but OSM (OpenStreetMap) is only for what is on the ground now, not what once was on the ground. I noticed you used older versions of map data to try and recreate the routes that once were ...
22024-07-08 21:35SomeoneElse Hello idkwhatname2use,
What licence were the "usgs maps" you used here released under. The date will be important here - see https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/are-usgs-topographic-maps-copyrighted .
Whether these features can legally be in OSM is of course a separate issue to whether they shoul...

42024-07-08 20:09SomeoneElse Hello MKBE_ and MKBE_2,
Can you explain what "it was for busmiles.uk" means? Is that an app or website that you are updating OSM for?
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.

I didn't add bing maps aerial as a source, it was probably done by osm web editor automatically. I just changed the place type tag since the old one appeared to be discouraged in the wiki. Do you mean the data source for the place itself? It's better to ask changeset #1 author, I didn'...

62024-07-08 15:04SomeoneElse Hello Barroszt,
To be clear (as noted at https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/16391 ) part of the problem is that people think that you are changing some things and missing others.
Perhaps avoid doing large-scale "mechanical" edits for a while and survey new stuff?
Best Regards,

@Barroszt twój komentarz jest nie na temat.

Nie pisałem tu nic o samym dodawaniu imienia do ulicy, niemniej ucinasz bardzo istotny fragment jakim jest:

"Należy upewnić się, czy aby na pewno dodajemy właściwe imię"

i nie przekonasz mnie, że się upewniasz patrząc na...

Yes, we surveyed the area and have collected street level imagery across the IIT Delhi campus. You can view the images here:
