Please go and read what the tag crossing:continuous means https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:crossing:continuous

Adding a separate way here https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1546089427 is incorrect because the sidewalk continues uninterrupted.

Btw I'm not being impolite because I wan...

Hi again,
one mistake from this changeset is that you disconnected these two streets from one another: way/3977786 and way/185395356
After your changeset, they were only connected via a footway, which is not routable for general vehicle traffic.
I fixed that.
2 ~ 2 months agoVLD317 Hello kadiwa,

Thank you for catching that and repairing it. I’ll try to be more careful to catch those before I upload them in the future.

Happy mapping,
VLD317

Hi! Please do not remove footway links. Here, you removed foot access to parking G1 from sidewalk. Thanks!
2 ~ 3 months agoVLD317 Thank you for bringing this to my attention. We had removed the link due to the presence of designated crosswalks that are separately mapped and which provide parking lot access. Since the link has been restored, we will not edit the feature further. Happy Mapping!

Yes, Links are there so they are adding routes for paths people would really take, especially when detours are available but non-attractive.

Hi! Please do not remove unmarked crossings, because your changes broke routing for pedestrian at this intersection. Crossings are needed for pedestrian to cross the street there, even if there are no marked crossings for foot traffic. Thanks!
2 ~ 3 months agoVLD317 Thank you for the follow-up and for considering pedestrian routing. Since you've already made the adjustments, we will not edit it further. Happy mapping!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Our team was not aware of the local standards for these driveways/alleyways in Cincinnati; Could you please direct us to the relevant discussion threads?

Hi the crossing you deleted is actually there, the street was recently repaved. Please don't delete crossings you can't see on aerials if they've been recently added.
2 ~ 7 months agoVLD317 Hi willkmis,

I apologize for my mistake. Thank you for catching that and re-adding the crossing! I will make sure to be more cautious going forward.

Thanks, VLD317

Hi,

With some of the crossings over cycle tracks parallel to the grove, you've removed some traffic_calming=table tags and changed some crossings from unmarked to marked.

The crossings which have a table or hump are marked with a solid white triangle on their approach(es) (TSRGD diagram 1...

Also, please don't tag links in the middle of complex junctions like https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/655623536 as having sidewalks. They don't.

I see that you have set crossing:markings=dashes on https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1421344450

Pedestrian crossings over public roads in the UK do not use dashes as crossing markings. They may use dots, a traffic sign authorised as TSRGD diagram 1055.1.

I see that you replaced crossing:markings=zebra;dots with crossing:markings=dots on https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5933198168

I distinctly remember the TSRGD diagram 1055.1 dots being there on every one of the hundreds of occasions on which I have walked or run across that zebra crossing.

Hello everyone - In my validation process, one of the issues is the separately mapped sidewalks along residential roads. In our guidelines, we have iterated (based on local mapping practices) these sidewalks should not be mapped separately. Our team is in the process of reverting the sidewalks.

I have already asked members of the Facebook team to stop splitting crossings off here as it is one continuous sidewalk all the way around and thus a single sidewalk way, no crossings. Please stop doing this.
2 ~ 1 year agoVLD317 Hello Udarian,

I apologize for splitting the crossings. As I am relatively new to the team, I was not aware that this location was a special case.

Our team will take steps to prevent similar modifications to the features here moving forward.
