12024-02-22 10:33oba510 Hi, welcome to OSM.

It looks like the 2-way bikeway /cycle track along Battery has already been mapped as a property of the street itself (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycleway#Cycle_tracks for more info), and the way you drew is basically duplicating what's already on the map...

Yeah, this should be removed unless there's a reason for the bike lane to be mapped separately - and I don't see one. The tags for Battery Street itself cover it.

I would be surprised if UCSC formatted their name differently from the other UC campuses, which follow the "University of California, [Place]" format.

I'm an alumnus and local, though specifically remember this from decades ago. It is entirely possible this got changed in 40+ years and the comma is truly present. If all other campuses include a comma, that is hefty support UCSC should, too.

Putting the comma back, you are correct. I found https://policy.ucop.edu/_files/da/2-26-99name.html which says there were changes in the late '50s and '60s and a clarification in 1999 that says all campuses use the comma.

Thanks oba510, been to Berkeley many times, you do great work in OSM. I recall Y2K and how in 1999 people (especially software and data-oriented people) were dotting Is and crossing Ts.

That is a non recognised value for the surface tag.

I disagree with this assessment: even if it's sometimes called "California cuisine", phrasing the tag as a noun and not an adjective goes against OSM practice for other cuisines from certain localities, e.g. cuisine=chinese, mexican, french, southern vs. china, mexico, france, south.

Hello!

22022-07-31 01:20oba510 Hi,

I agree that the source should go on the changeset and not the object. Every time someone edits something the source potentially changes/expands. 99.99% of the time I don't add a source tag to objects I edit.

In this case, I didn't change the name at all, just added a source fo...

By breaking up long segments, I can then export the smaller area that I'm wanting. Without the segments broken up, there's unnecessary segments exported with it.

As for distinguishing railway=* for stops on Muni trackage, I think it seems fit to use railway=tram_stop for flag stops and railway=station for the wheelchair-accessible stops where trains always call (in other words, all the labeled stations on the official Muni Metro map).

12018-10-17 06:23oba510 This could reasonably be considered either a driveway or a parking aisle, but it's certainly one of them. The service=driveway tag should not have been removed.

Hi Oba510,

Thanks for your update. The latest imagery from bing shows that it is probably used as a dumpyard - https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=37.819572~-122.283719&lvl=17&dir=14.76&style=x&v=2&sV=1
Would it not not be better to use this as a service road rather than a driveway?...
32018-10-24 08:59oba510 If it was really a junkyard than it probably shouldn't be mapped as a service way at all, I would think, since there wouldn't actually be a "way".

Hi Oba510,

Thanks for the update. Makes sense.
Just an add on query - OSM WIKI for driveway - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service=driveway states that "The main ways on the parking lot, connecting multiple service=parking_aisle should be mapped with highway=service, only. "...
52018-10-24 11:44oba510 That's referring to the main (often 2 or more lane) roads that you would typically find between individual parking lots in places like shopping centers or airports that have large complex parking arrangements. It is not really relevant to small driveways in a city.

12018-10-18 06:22oba510 This change doesn't seem quite correct. The intersection is so wide that vehicles turning right from Posen onto Ordway never actually enter the roundabout - the ways were connected at the same node intentionally to reflect that fact. The sidewalk tags also got (very slightly) messed up here.

Because in OSM there is no mapping of property (you can't see you on the ground) and even a building can have several different addresses (and I'm not talking about different suites), the address belongs to the building or to a node in (or on) the building. You can deviate from that for cl...

Ah, sorry, there is already a historic tag. I think the highway tag is obsolete here.
52017-08-31 11:43oba510 The highway=street_sign tag is there because it functions (both historically and currently) as a street sign. Looking at taginfo highway=street_sign is the most common tag for such features (even though it is undocumented).
62017-08-31 11:54GerdP
♦2,751
That is true, the difference is that you have used the tag on a way, not on a node.
I also assume that many are mistagged traffic_sign=* or maybe tourism=information.
Question is why you want to map the sign,
I think the important thing is that the corresponding highway has the correct name tag.

12017-02-25 06:08oba510 Hi,
Why did you add bike lanes to the full length of 5th Ave? Have they been added recently? You also added a three-block long turning lane on E 8th, and merged two blocks of Elmwood Ave together creating an impossible one-way dead end, both of which seem unlikely to be true.
