Hi, you forgot to tag this line which you created (see below). I should be probably an intermitent stream...? I am also not sure if it is correct to tie the line with the state border.

Hello!
There are a few points/questions about the classification:

1. If they're suburbs then of which town/city?

2. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candolim says its a "census town" which in Indian terms means a well-developed village with a population > 5000. It doesn�...

Hi Arun, wanted to let you know that I have changed the tagging of a way you tagged as `highway=pedestrian`, back to `=service`. Based on your edit summary, I think you based the tag on the satellite imagery. I visited Srinagar in 2016, and came this way. At the time, some of the road was too narrow...
2 ~ 5 years agoPlaneMad Have only walked on a short stretch in front of Suffering Moses back in 2012 and did not recall seeing vehicles on it.

Will definitely trust your judgement and service definitely seems like a better option.
3 ~ 5 years agoPlaneMad Suffering Moses is west of Zero bridge, so looks like we both have been on different parts of the road :D

Ultimately would be great to have someone local update it (hopefully soon!)
4 ~ 5 years agokeithonearth

Small world!

I"ll bet the right thing to do would be tag sections as pedestrian and parts as service. Although I've always been bothered by how the `highway=pedestrian` is used for such a wide variety of very different ways from something like The Mall in Shimla, to the galees in varan...
5 ~ 5 years agoPlaneMad My interpretation of a `pedestrian` street is one that has been restricted for vehicles to give pedestrians right of way and not "too narrow for vehicles to use".

Reason for tagging it pedestrian was more of hunch that the whole route was closed off for entry to vehicles, but from your ...

please review way 209561034:
the tag highway=median is rarely used,
it seems to mean the same as highway=centreline, which is currently discussed as well, see

great detail with trees. but probably more appropriate to tag with species rather than name

B&M Bargains or B&M Homestore? They've got (at least) two brands in the UK.

please review:
the tag highway=divider is only used by you (7 times)
Is it a barrier=line or maybe barrier=kerb?
Sample: way 207489502

Hi Arun - are you sure that https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/329032015 is really an unclassified road? It doesn't particularly look like one from the imagery. What I suspect it is is a farm track with a "public right of way" over it (given that someone's named in "leeds c...
2 ~ 10 years agoPlaneMad The section leads only to the Airport service road apart from the couple of properties and the footpath branching out. There are no ways that branch into farms to suggest this is primarily for agricultural use.

Have been trying to understand UK roads better and would really appreciate to know why...

First dont rely on the wiki "tracks are for agricultural use". This may be applicable in Germany. In Britain I suspect we will use track or service for any non-public ways which vehicles can be seen to traverse. Most indeed will be for agricultural purposes (including things like Pheasant ...
4 ~ 10 years agoPlaneMad > For instance many railway lines will have access tracks used by maintenance crews.

This should be an unpaved service road, no?
5 ~ 10 years agoSomeoneElse
♦13,693
Personally, I'd map railway access tracks as "highway=track" as for example at http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/30010081 , but obviously it depends on what they look like - some are more like service roads, and there are lots that are just footpaths. Here it's difficult to tell ...
6 ~ 10 years agoPlaneMad Ok this seems a little at odds with how i'm understanding highway tags, that they primarily define function of a way in the road network, otherwise most unpaved roads in developing countries would end up being tagged as tracks.

If tracks in UK don't follow the wiki guidelines of being f...

H there. I was wondering about the motivation for "tunnel=building_passage" on http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/349390889 and http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/349390900 . From visiting, it looks like these walkways are inside (must walk through a door) and not surrounded by outer walls (li...
2 ~ 10 years agoPlaneMad Hey FTA. Not sure what I was thinking at that time, but was likely a case of over enthusiastic mapping based on the building geometry and paths leading to it.
Thanks for highlighting this, I'm going to revert the change.

2 ~ 10 years agoPlaneMad No problem! Do you have any tool to find issues like this automatically? I'm worried more such cases go unnoticed.

Like this, no - I just noticed the forum post about it. I did write https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/Changeset1 to look for certain sorts of issues locally by new users, but "nothing but deletes in the changeset" isn't currently one of them.

There was a more general GSoC proposal...
