Hi ralley,

Thank you for the feedback. I assume the two parallel tracks have got created mistakenly, probably the Way 965289249 got copy pasted. I have corrected the issue now. Hope this helps.

Happy mapping!

The reason for having it as a point and polygon (building) is that these are made into separate layers that feed into different mapping systems. Some maps will require petrol stations shown as points, others will be interested in it from the building perspective.

Hi NBegg, I agree with ralley, nothing should be mapped twice. If a system you're using only looks at nodes, that's a major flaw with that system and you'd be better off trying to fix that issue, since 173,000 petrol stations are mapped as areas vs ~291,000 as nodes - https://taginfo....

I've also remedied the issues raised by ralley (private info on street address and un-needed layer tag)

Hi ralley, first time I've seen this key being used, I'm curious!
How - are you manually mapping colours or using some detection algorithm first?
Why - The OSM Wiki says this is "Mostly used for 3D mapping' - is that the reason you're adding this detail?
---
...
22020-04-11 22:02ralley Just completely manual based on ESRI imagery. For 3d mapping, see https://demo.f4map.com/#lat=-36.8739459&lon=174.6962537&zoom=19

You are correct thee road is closed temporarily. https://www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz/traffic/roadclosures/275912?layers=road-closures . Difficult to manage these temporary effects I guess. Is there a way (on Openstreetmap) to have a continuous road but have it flagged as closed?

22019-10-07 18:32ralley Don't worry about the OSMCHA warning - it produces quite a lot of false positives. From memory the metric used for "possible import" is just based on the ratio of new nodes to modified/deleted nodes.

12019-09-20 04:43ralley Can I ask what your source for this change is? From local knowledge and the mapillary imagery the 100kmh zone for the North bound lanes starts North of where it is now placed, outside the police station. The South bound 100 zone ends North of its current position, where the bus way merges.

Hi Rob,
This was a misinterpretation by one of our team members looking at google street view. We've changed the zone segment back to 100 km/h.
32019-09-24 04:58ralley Thanks for the quick response and fix. Please don't use google street view as a source for edits though - it does not have a compatible licence. Mapillary imagery is available and has a compatible licence.
