Hello! Please have a look on https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1371941079 (one of two objects). What is the mean of the tags

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�...

Hello, Is any specific reason to change the road classification as "Unclassified"for "Seawoods NRI Service Road"
22023-04-06 07:39PlaneMad The NRI road road is a first order collector road from just a couple of complexes. There's not enough traffic feeding into it to justify increasing classification to a tertiary road.

Based on the traffic pattern I have observed here.

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...
22020-08-02 20:35PlaneMad 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.
32020-08-02 20:39PlaneMad 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!)

Small world!

52020-08-04 03:58PlaneMad 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 ...

I think it does make a lot of sense... but this is my first time trying to understand the complexity of disputed boundaries in OSM. It seems like boundary=claim is useful, and less complicated than some of the other options.

Are you trying to say here that the geographical location of the border is disputed, or referring to the dispute where Serbia still thinks that Kosovo is a province of Serbian?

If just the latter, then according to https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf an...
22016-05-12 04:03PlaneMad Wonder if the `disputed_by` tag would do the trick like what we have in Kashmir http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/ga9

For info the change to https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/329032013 looks a bit iffy; I've added https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/518603 so that hopefully it'll get a proper survey.

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

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

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...
22015-08-17 17:04PlaneMad 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.

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 ...
42015-08-17 18:22PlaneMad > For instance many railway lines will have access tracks used by maintenance crews.

This should be an unpaved service road, no?

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 ...
62015-08-18 05:55PlaneMad 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...

22015-07-19 15:49PlaneMad 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.
